Private crisis specialist for individuals, families and professionals
When a situation has become impossible to manage, impossible to hide, or impossible to navigate alone, I bring structure, clarity and a coherent path forward. Confidential, discreet, and governed by professional ethics.

Who I work with
Families
You're watching someone you love in freefall: a relapse, a breakdown, a crisis that has come to a head, and you don't know what to do next. I help families make sense of what's happening, decide what needs to happen first, and hold it all together while they do.
Professionals
For executives, business owners and professionals navigating personal crises under professional scrutiny, where the stakes include careers, reputations and organisations.
Individuals
For people who are ready to acknowledge that something has to change but don't know where to start, or who have tried the conventional routes and found them inadequate. I work with you directly, at pace, and without judgment.

When people reach out to me, they describe situations like these:
Someone you love has relapsed, broken down, or reached a crisis point, and you don't know where to turn
A career, reputation or scheduled tour is suddenly at serious risk
You've tried conventional routes and nothing has worked
A family is fracturing under the weight of secrecy and conflict
Complex mental health, neurodivergence or compulsive behaviour sitting beneath the surface
An artist, athlete or executive needs immediate support that standard services can't provide
Ways we can work together
I draw on 3 core modes of work, depending on what the situation requires.
No referral fees. Ever.
I do not take commissions or kickbacks from treatment providers. My only financial allegiance is to the client.
Absolute confidentiality.
All work is conducted under strict professional confidentiality. I am experienced working under NDAs and alongside legal teams.
Financially independent.
Not affiliated with any clinic, treatment centre or referral network. My recommendations are made on clinical merit alone.
Are you watching someone you love
in crisis?
You may not know what to call what is happening. You may not be ready to name it. That is entirely normal. My role is to help you make sense of what you are seeing, understand the options, and take the right next step, without judgment, without pressure.

"Matt expertly and calmly guided me through an extremely stressful period, when trying to support my brother to get help with his alcohol and drug addictions. He went well over and above what was required, taking calls out of office hours and reassuring when I had to disengage as it all got too much. Thanks to Matt's patience and expertise, my brother has now taken initial steps towards recovery. I can't thank him enough."
