Mathew Keany - Counsellor and Couples Therapist

"For me therapy isn’t just about tools and strategies. I love hearing clients say they feel better at the end of the session than they did when they walked in!"

Mathew and his little therapy dog, Winston, have been working with 12 Points Psychology as an animal-assisted therapy team since 2020. Along with Danielle and Trish, Mathew was one of the founders of 12 Points Psychology and working so closely with all of our clients and clinicians helped him realise that it was time to leave his nearly 20-years in educational publishing for a new and rewarding career in mental health and counselling.

...individuals aged 16+ who may be experiencing difficulties with; relationship breakdowns, self-esteem, life transitions, grief & loss (including pet bereavement), or finding their motivation in life.

Mathew has training and experience in...

... couples counselling (Gottman’s and Schema), and really enjoys helping couples learn how to communicate and connect more effectively with each other and with themselves.

Mathew's approach to therapy is...

... a calm, supportive approach to his clients and enjoys working with individuals aged 16+ who may be experiencing difficulties with; relationship breakdowns, self-esteem, life transitions, grief & loss (including pet bereavement), or finding their motivation in life.
