Approach

Sometimes life and relationships can become difficult to navigate. You may be experiencing stress, relationship difficulties, separation, conflict, grief, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and unsure about what comes next.

Counselling offers a space to slow things down, talk openly and make sense of what is happening. Together, we can explore what matters to you, recognise your strengths and patterns, and identify practical ways forward.

Matt Pronger is a AASW registered social worker, counsellor and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with more than 17 years’ experience supporting individuals, couples and families.

With an approach that is warm, straightforward and collaborative and a belief that counselling doesn't need to feel overly clinical. Matt will create a comfortable and respectful space where you can be yourself, speak safely and work towards meaningful change.

Much of Matt's career has focused on relationships, parents, fathers, families, conflict and behaviour change. This experience has reinforced the belief that change often begins with understanding ourselves more deeply—how we respond, the patterns we fall into, what matters to us, and the kind of person, partner or parent we want to be.

Qualifications and Experience.

Matt is a qualified Social Worker, holding a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Queensland, a Graduate Diploma in Dispute Resolution, and qualifications in Community Services and Community Development. He has also completed specialist training in Gottman Couples Counselling (Levels 1 and 2), Internal Family Systems theory, the Common Approach, Outcomes Star, violence prevention, respectful relationships, and domestic and family violence.

Matt has extensive experience across relationship and pre-marriage counselling, antenatal and fatherhood programs, group facilitation, Mens behaviour change programs, workplace training and education, clinical supervision and organisational development. His practice is grounded in trauma-informed and gender-informed approaches, with extensive experience supporting individuals, teams and leaders through sensitive and complex conversations.
