Psychological Consulting
A thinking partner for leaders, organisations and creative teams navigating people challenges, performance and the human side of how work gets done. I bring psychological expertise into the room to help make sense of what's happening and what to do about it.
Project-based and scoped to what you actually need. A single session, a short advisory engagement, or ongoing input over time.

1:1 Performance Psychology & Therapy
Individual work for professionals, leaders and adults who want to understand what's driving their stress, shift patterns that are holding them back, and perform - and live - more clearly under pressure.
Integrating clinical psychology, performance psychology, trauma-informed practice and EMDR. The approach is always tailored - what works for one person doesn't work for another.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
In their words
"Before working with Matt I was feeling lower and lower, easily overwhelmed. Sessions evolved from session to session and I felt more relaxed and grounded after each one. I feel in control. It has made the biggest shift in my day to day."
- 1:1 Client (Founder)"The work we have done together has been genuinely life changing. My performances have dramatically improved and most importantly I feel I'm ready to fly the nest. I can't thank you enough."
- 1:1 Client (Athlete)"These sessions have had a transformational impact on my life. I was at risk of burnout, lacking the awareness and strategies I needed. Dr Slavin is highly responsive, tailoring his approach in every session to your mood, needs and goals."
- 1:1 Client (Senior Exec)"The workshop was easy to follow, engaging with everyone, and interactive, which I liked more. We took away valuable tools that anyone can implement straight away for a better, healthier mind."
— Workshop Participant“Working with Matt has been absolutely fantastic. I found that his calm compassionate manner has been extremely reassuring and I found it very easy to be open and honest about challenges that I’ve been having both personally and professionally. Together we have worked through and come up with solutions for issues that have been affecting me for many years and I feel as a result of our work together that I’m in a much better position to tackle similar challenges in the future. I would totally recommend working with Matt for anyone interested in improving their work performance or addressing unhelpful patterns of behaviour or just fine tuning their mental wellbeing.”
— 1:1 Client (Doctor)“I can’t believe how much of a difference it has made to me. I feel in control. It is very hard to explain but it has made the biggest shift in my day to day. If you have ever thought of getting help then, I would say you should get it as soon as possible so you can make the change quicker. I would just like to say how much you have helped and how much I appreciate it.”
