The Quiet Burnout No One Talks About
You didn’t collapse.
You didn’t take time off.
You didn’t tell anyone how bad it was.
You just kept going.
Maybe it kicked in after a restructure, redundancy or career shake-up.
Maybe it came from grief, loss or the slow breakdown of a relationship.
Whatever the cause, you don’t feel like you anymore.
You’re flat, wired, exhausted, anxious but still showing up. On the outside you look fine. On the inside it’s chipping away at your clarity, patience, health and confidence. And because you’re still functioning, you think you should be able to sort it alone.
​
About me
Years before the pandemic, I faced testicular cancer and came out the other side. I thought I knew what resilience looked like. But nothing prepared me for what came next.
During COVID, I was working in HR, managing redundancy processes that could have cost me my own job. At the same time, my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and within a short space of time, I lost both of my parents. I kept showing up, staying “professional,” and delivering at work, but inside I was anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from myself.
Eventually, the pressure caught up with me. Panic attacks, anxiety, and burnout forced me to stop pretending everything was fine. That breakdown became a turning point. Through coaching, NLP, hypnotherapy, and deep personal work, I rebuilt my confidence, resilience, and sense of self.
Now, I help other men do the same.
My Coaching
I coach men who look like they’re holding it together but feel like they’re falling apart. I’ve been there myself through cancer, loss and the pressure of keeping everything together while my own life unravelled.
My coaching is practical, straight-talking and built on lived experience and proven tools. Together we’ll:
-
Break the patterns that keep you stuck in burnout
-
Rebuild your self-belief and confidence
-
Give you space to process the hard stuff without losing your edge
-
Help you feel like yourself again
You don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine.

Trusted Coaching for Men Who Need Real Change
Coaching is a partnership that helps you cut through the noise, see things clearly, and make changes that last. It is not about me giving you advice. It is about working together to uncover what is holding you back and building the tools to move forward.
We will start with a conversation about where you are now and what you want to change. From there, I will create a plan that gives you structure, strategies, and support so you never feel like you are doing this on your own.
​
As an EMCC accredited coach, NLP Master Practitioner and Core Renewal Therapist, I draw on proven methods: NLP to break unhelpful patterns, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching to manage stress and sharpen focus, Dialectical Behavioural Coaching to strengthen resilience and relationships, and Hypnotherapy to shift deep-rooted triggers at a subconscious level.
​
The result is real, tangible change. You will sleep better, feel more energised, switch off without guilt, rebuild confidence, set boundaries that stick, and reconnect with the people who matter most.
This is coaching that helps you take back control and live on your terms again.

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.
