In our free one hour discovery session, we'll dive into your dreams, challenges, and what you're aiming to achieve. This is our chance to understand if we're a good fit for working together.

NLP helps you reprogram your thoughts, language, and behaviors to create positive change. By understanding how your mind processes experiences, you can replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones and take greater control over your actions and emotions
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC)
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that impact your emotions and actions. By challenging limiting beliefs, you can develop resilience, shift your mindset, and take practical steps toward your goals.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches you how to manage intense emotions, build distress tolerance, and improve relationships. It helps you balance acceptance and change, so you can navigate challenges with greater emotional control and confidence.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses deep relaxation and focused attention to access your subconscious mind, helping you overcome fears, break negative habits, and reinforce positive changes. It’s a powerful way to shift limiting patterns and create lasting transformation.
Existential Coaching
Existential Coaching helps you explore your values, purpose, and personal meaning. It encourages deep self-reflection, empowering you to make clear, confident choices that align with what truly matters to you.
How These Approaches Work Together
By combining these techniques, you get a well-rounded approach to transformation. CBC gives you practical strategies, DBT strengthens emotional regulation, hypnotherapy helps rewire your subconscious, existential coaching brings clarity and purpose, and NLP enhances your ability to create lasting change. Together, they help you build resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

What My Clients Say
Finding Matt and the support he offered me changed my mindset completely and the path I was taking. Starting my journey with Matt was scary at first, stepping into the unknown and like many others, those questions circulated my head. Is this really going to work? What can I learn about myself? From the first session, I knew Matt was the right person to help me through a very stressful time both in and out of work. His approach, knowledge and passion shone through and I have every trust in Matt to support me through any challenge now or in the future.
