Matthew Line-Hayward Black and White Portrait

About Matthew Line-Hayward: From Grief to Growth

In 2019, my life changed forever. My mum, the person who had always been my anchor, passed away. The grief was unbearable. I felt lost, disconnected, and completely overwhelmed. Just as I was beginning to find my footing again, my dad died two years later. The weight of losing both parents in such a short time crushed me. Each day felt like an uphill battle. I had no motivation, no sense of direction, and no idea how to move forward.

The emotional toll was one thing, but the physical impact was just as devastating. The stress and anxiety of dealing with my grief, along with managing my parents’ estate, led to constant chest pains. My energy levels plummeted, and I developed anaemia. I barely recognised myself anymore. My body felt like it was failing me, and I had no drive to change things. My poor diet and lack of exercise only made things worse. My testosterone levels dropped so low that even the smallest tasks felt impossible. I had no motivation, no strength, and no reason to care. Life had lost all meaning, and I didn’t know how to pull myself out of the darkness.

At my lowest point, I realised something had to change. I couldn’t keep living like this. I reached out for help and hired a coach. That single decision was the turning point in my life. My coach helped me see that I wasn’t powerless, that I still had choices, and that healing was possible. One of the first things I focused on was my physical health. I started Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), which was a huge step in the right direction. Almost immediately, I noticed a difference. My energy levels began to improve, and for the first time in years, I felt a sense of hope. I started eating better, moving more, and taking back control of my health.

As I worked on my physical well-being, I also began to focus on my mindset. I had spent so long feeling stuck in grief that I hadn’t allowed myself to think about the future. Through coaching, I started to see that pain didn’t have to define me. I learnt how to manage my thoughts, rebuild my confidence, and shift my perspective. I discovered mindfulness and made it a daily habit, using it to stay present and process my emotions in a healthier way. Slowly, I began to feel like myself again.

Inspired by the changes in my own life, I decided to become a coach myself. I had always used coaching in my HR career, but now, I wanted to take it further. I knew firsthand how powerful the right support could be, and I wanted to help others who were struggling just as I had been. I trained as an internationally accredited coach and became an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner. I also trained in Core Renewal Therapy, a powerful healing approach that helps release emotional pain and restore balance after trauma or loss. This wasn’t just about gaining credentials—it was about giving myself the tools to truly make a difference.

Today, I feel like a completely different person. The exhaustion, the hopelessness, and the sense of being lost are all behind me. My energy is back, my purpose is clear, and I wake up each day feeling grateful for the life I’ve built. I now dedicate my work to helping other men who feel stuck, guiding them through their own journeys of healing and growth.

As a Mental Strength Coach I work with professional men who are struggling with stress, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. I know how isolating it can feel when you’re in that dark place, but I also know that there’s a way forward. Using a combination of coaching, NLP, and Core Renewal Therapy, I help men break free from limiting beliefs, process their emotions, and rebuild their confidence. I believe that resilience isn’t about pretending to be strong—it’s about facing your pain, working through it, and coming out stronger on the other side.

If you’re feeling lost, know that you don’t have to go through this alone. I’ve been where you are, and I know how hard it can be to take that first step. But I also know that change is possible. No matter how stuck you feel right now, there is a way forward. You deserve support, and you deserve to feel whole again. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to help.
