Matt's approach to care
Each individual requires an individualised approach to intervention as no two people are the same.
Therefore, an individually tailored intervention is required, which is achieved via a collaborative approach to meet an individual’s specific requirements.
Utilising a strong foundation of rapport, validation, empathy, shared problem-solving, external/internal support, to enable an individual to achieve their goals.
