Dr Matthew Smout - Clinical Psychologist

04/08/2025

Our UniSA Psychology Clinic currently has no wait time for adults needing cognitive behaviour therapy. Clients can self-refer via the website form below and don't need a mental health care plan to attend. I do call everyone before booking them in to make sure our student therapists are likely to be able to help. Please share!

Based at UniSA’s Magill Campus, the Psychology Clinic provides high-quality, affordable psychological services to the general community.

If you experience stress from dealing with other people, we would be grateful if you would take part in an online survey for my Honours student. The survey is comprehensive and takes about an hour to complete. We are interested in understanding the extent to which individuals' lifelong patterns of thinking affects their distress compared to the frequency of difficult interactions they experience.

Spencer Greenberg has a really interesting podcast on psychology, society and a range of other topics. He was kind enough to interview me on the effectiveness of therapy:
