About Jason
Jason Matia is an AASW social worker with six years of professional experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, family conflict and trauma. He speaks English and Maori and aims to make taking the first step easier for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
Jason uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. He creates an open space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps they can try between meetings.
He works with common struggles such as low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. He also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment issues, body image and isolation or loneliness. Practical conversations target everyday challenges and routines that get in the way of feeling better.
Jason draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to values-based action. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation respectful and person-led. Together these approaches guide decisions about what to try next.
People considering therapy are invited to take a short matching questionnaire to begin. Jason aims to match therapeutic steps to each person’s needs, and to plan realistic, manageable goals that fit with daily life.
