Matthew Sullivan
Welcome! I'm Matthew Sullivan, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) with over a decade of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. My background spans community mental health, disability, emergency support, telehealth, aged care, and supporting adolescents and families. Whether you're an adolescent, adult, person experiencing a disability, older person, or seeking family support, I'm here to help. As an AMHSW, I'm trained in effective, evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and more. I believe in a flexible approach, adapting these methods to suit your unique situation and goals. My focus is on creating a supportive space where we can work together using strategies recognized under Medicare. I have experience with Mental Health Care Plans, NDIS assessments, and supporting individuals through various life stages and difficulties. My commitment is to provide compassionate, practical support to help you move towards positive change.

Why the Spoony community matters to me
Understanding & Validation: Connects people who truly "get" the daily struggles of chronic illness, reducing the need to constantly explain and validating their experiences. Less Isolation: Combats the loneliness that often comes with chronic illness by fostering a sense of belonging with others who share similar situations. Practical Tips & Resources: A great place to share and find real-world advice on managing symptoms, navigating healthcare, and coping strategies. Emotional Support: Offers a safe space to share frustrations and celebrate small wins with empathetic peers who understand. Awareness & Advocacy: Collectively raises awareness about chronic illness realities, challenges stigma, and pushes for better understanding. Empowerment: Finding this community helps individuals feel less alone, more understood, and stronger together.
