Who are we?

Matthew Povey-Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Counsellor, based in NSW Central west providing autism assessment and support, supervision and testing services. Online or 2 hours from the ACT, Orange and Wagga Wagga.

Matthew Povey is the leading social worker and counsellor in Riverina Counselling. Matthew has been in the industry for over 14 years and has worked across a number of different services and continued private work in this time.

Riverina Counselling, and the services we offer, have evolved since our beginnings in Wollongong and the Illawara. Prior to being in the Riverina we also had clinics in Albury Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. We now offer a number of services in the Riverina, as well as online via telehealth and videoconferencing.

Supervision

We offer ongoing support to new and existing clinicians within the mental health space via supervision. This can be done anytime, anywhere, via telehealth. This area focuses on a number of things, such as: developing more clinical practice skills, supporting self-care and reducing burnout, help setting up and establishing a practice and ongoing clinical support and oversight, as needed.

Therapeutic Support

We also offer a range of therapeutic services for individuals with mild to complex mental health struggles. Riverina Counselling has aided individuals from many different walks of life, as we recognise we all come from different experiences.

We offer short and long term therapy options. With a vast range of experience across a number of conditions, we first do an initial phone call to discuss your needs, ensure we are a match for one another and to ask any questions we might have.

After this, we discuss fees and, if everyone is happy, you will be emailed an intake form and we will schedule times and dates to begin accessing ongoing support. IF we feel we are not a match, we will try to recommend and refer you to alternative supports.

Autism Testing

Riverina Counselling offers Autism testing. This is done privately and is further broken down in the ‘Autism Testing’ under what we treat.

Functional Capacity Assessment

Riverina Counselling is able to offer testing of Functional Capacity and Adaptive Behavior. This can aid when going for initial access or reviews for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or work and vocational based assessment.
