Matthew So is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Psychologist based in Strathfield South, NSW. He works out of 470 Liverpool Road, Strathfield South NSW 2136.
Neuropsychology looks at how the brain and the mind work together in everyday life. In many cases, people come in after changes they can feel or notice—things like memory getting worse, trouble concentrating, mood shifts, or stress that just won’t let go. Matthew also provides emotional counselling and support when life feels overwhelming, especially when sleep, work, or relationships start to take a hit.
Cognitive assessments are a key part of the work. These checks help map out how someone is thinking and processing information at that time. They’re not about labelling or judgement. They’re more about finding out what’s getting in the way, so the next steps make sense. At times, this can be linked to stress, burnout, or other mental health factors, and sometimes it’s part of a bigger picture that needs careful attention.
Alongside assessments, Matthew offers behavioural therapy. This can be helpful when habits have formed over time, when anxiety or low mood is driving the way someone acts, or when avoidance keeps growing. Sessions focus on practical changes. The aim is to build skills that can be used in real life, not just in the room during an appointment.
Stress management is also a big part of the approach. People often know they’re stressed, but they don’t always know what to do about it. Matthew’s sessions can include stress management techniques that are clear and doable, like ways to slow the mind down, handle busy days, and respond differently when feelings run high.
Emotional counselling is offered for a range of situations. Some people want help sorting through emotions after major life changes. Others are dealing with long-term strain and feel stuck. Either way, the work is guided by what matters to the person and what goals feel realistic right now.
Matthew works with adults and people who want a calm, steady plan for improving how they cope. The focus stays on understanding, support, and practical steps—especially when thoughts, emotions, and everyday functioning feel tangled up.
