About Nexus Mental Health Recovery Services
Accessible & Collaborative Nurse Practitioner Led Mental Health Care for Adults & Adolescents (16+)
Nexus Mental Health Recovery Services was conceived by Matt Ireland in order to meet the need for accessible and affordable mental health in the Penrith & Hawkesbury Regions. Having worked in inner city services such as St Vincent's hospital and South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, Matt decided to come back to the region where he grew up to support the community.
It can be difficult to access quality mental health care that is accessible an affordable. That is one of the primary aims of Nexus Mental Health Recovery Services, to help you access mental health care that is compassionate, of high quality and isn't restrictively expensive.
About Me.
Welcome to Nexus Mental Health Recovery Services. I'm Matt Ireland, a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and person-centered mental health care.
​
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey towards mental wellness and recovery. I believe in a holistic approach, considering all aspects of your life and well-being.​
My Approach to Care
Empowering You with Evidence-Based Skills for Mental Wellbeing
My commitment is to empower you on your journey to mental wellbeing. As a highly qualified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I utilize a range of evidence-based interventions, including practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These proven approaches help you develop effective coping strategies and behavioural skills to manage current challenges and improve your day-to-day functioning. We work together in a compassionate space, focusing on building your autonomy and enabling you to make choices that foster responsibility and lead to a more fulfilling life.
Collaborative Understanding: Tailored Mental Health Care Through Proven Therapies
I believe effective mental health care is a collaborative journey. My approach involves developing a deep understanding of how your unique experiences and relationships have shaped you. We will explore relational dynamics, and harness your intrinsic desire for change. This ensures your care is not only compassionate and empathic but also specifically tailored to your needs, empowering you to build understanding and take meaningful steps towards your mental health goals with confidence.
Holistic Growth: Integrating Effective Care for Lasting Change
My practice centres on supporting your holistic growth and fostering lasting positive change. I integrate effective care by thoughtfully combining insights from understanding your personal journey with well-established therapeutic strategies. This means we might draw from various modalities like CBT for thought patterns, DBT for emotional regulation, or IPT for relationship skills, always within a compassionate and empathic framework. The aim is to empower you to not only address immediate concerns but also to build lasting autonomy and take responsible ownership of your life choices and overall mental wellbeing.
