Does this sound familiar?

Most men who come to coaching are not short on effort. They are stuck in a pattern they cannot see from the inside.

A man and woman arguing across a kitchen table

The same argument, again

You try to stay calm and it still ends in a fight or in silence. Nothing changes, and you stop knowing what to try.

A man and woman standing apart with arms crossed

Not saying what you need

You hold back, or it comes out sideways. Your standards stay vague, so the same problems keep repeating.

After a breakdown

You are separated or it has ended. You want to rebuild with a clear head, and date again with confidence.

Matt explained to me my needs weren’t being met, then he showed me how to get them met really, really simply. Legend.

Contacted Matt after my relationship was falling apart, essentially due to my moods and being disconnected when under so much damn stress. He helped me get back my connection with my partner and we are now happily thriving. Thanks again.

I was in a bad place, had made some terrible decisions and felt my relationship couldn’t be repaired. The work did take a while, but through Matt’s tools around relationship communication, connection and love languages we built something I understood and could implement. Was really good and helped. He truly is good at this sort of work.

I thought the relationship was โ€œjust getting staleโ€. Turns out there was one thing I kept doing that was slowly killing trust. The reset helped me fix the real issue and my partner actually noticed the change.

Relationship on thin ice · 3 months ago
My partner and I kept having the exact same fight. I genuinely thought I was communicating fine. Turns out I was mostly going quiet and waiting for it to pass. Matt pointed that out without making me feel like garbage about it. We still argue, donโ€™t get me wrong, but it actually goes somewhere now instead of in circles.

Started after a breakup, a bit lost if Iโ€™m honest. Some weeks I needed to talk it out, other weeks I needed someone to just tell me to get up and do something. Matt read the difference well. Got me back to looking after myself first, then figuring out where I wanted to go from there.

Coaching Options

Each option follows the same eight-week coaching plan. The difference is the length and depth of the weekly sessions, the support available between sessions and how closely we work together to apply the coaching in real situations in your life.

Option 1

Check-In Reset

$100/ week

15-minute weekly check-in

A short, focused checkpoint designed to help you remain consistent with the plan. We will briefly review your progress, identify what needs attention and agree on one clear action for the coming week. You will complete the exercises and apply the tools independently between sessions.

Best suited to: someone who generally knows what to do and primarily wants structure and accountability to follow through.

Book a free call

Option 2

Core Reset

$200/ week

35 to 45-minute weekly coaching session

A full coaching session that gives us time to understand what is happening beneath the surface, develop the relevant communication tools and turn each week's focus into a practical action plan. Your progress and scorecard will be reviewed during the session, with a structured midweek check-in to support implementation and maintain momentum.

Best suited to: someone who wants meaningful weekly coaching and guidance but feels confident applying the tools independently between sessions.

Book a free call

Option 3

Intensive Reset

$300/ week

50 to 60-minute weekly coaching session

The highest level of coaching and support, designed to help turn insight and new skills into reliable behaviour in real situations in your life. The longer sessions provide additional time for deeper coaching, role-play, preparation and problem-solving. We can prepare for important conversations before they happen, review interactions while the details are still fresh and adjust the approach throughout the week. This option also includes short weekday accountability check-ins and access to WhatsApp or voice-note coaching within agreed hours.

Best suited to: someone who wants close support, faster feedback and hands-on help applying the coaching until the new behaviours become more natural and consistent.

Book a free call

Billed weekly for the full 8 weeks, in your local currency. If it's not for you and you're not getting results, you can leave at any time. I stand by getting results.

Relationship Coaching for Men: FAQ

Can coaching help me repair or save my relationship?

Coaching can help you change your side of it: how you communicate, what you ask for, how you handle conflict and where you hold your limits. That often shifts the dynamic. No coach can promise a relationship will be saved, because it also depends on your partner. What coaching can do is help you act clearly and calmly, whatever happens next.

What is relationship coaching for men?

It is structured 1-to-1 coaching, delivered over Zoom, that helps you communicate your needs and standards, handle conflict, hold boundaries and stay confident in your relationships. Each week we work on real situations in your life and agree one clear next step, so you change what you actually do, not only how you think about it.

Is this the same as couples counselling or therapy?

No. Coaching is practical and forward-looking, and the sessions are one-to-one with you, not with you and your partner. It is not clinical therapy or crisis support. If you are struggling with your mental health or safety, please contact a qualified professional or local emergency service.

Can you help if my partner isn't involved?

Yes. You can only change your side of the dynamic, and that is where the coaching focuses: how you communicate, what you ask for, how you respond under pressure and where you set limits. Many men see the pattern between them and their partner shift once they change how they show up.

How do I communicate my needs and standards without starting a fight?

This is a core part of the work. We practise saying what you need and what you will and won't accept in plain, calm language, and rehearse the conversations you have been avoiding or getting wrong, so you can have them with less reactivity and more clarity.

I'm going through a breakup or separation. Can you help?

Yes. Many men come to coaching after a breakdown. We focus on staying steady, making clear decisions, rebuilding routine and discipline, and communicating well through the process. For some men that also includes divorce; see rebuilding your life after divorce.

Do you help with dating after a split?

Yes. We work on confidence, standards and boundaries, and on being clear about what you want, so you date with intention instead of from loneliness or habit. Matt has also worked alongside Silicon Valley matchmaker Amy Anderson as a men's dating coach consultant.

How much does relationship coaching cost?

There are three weekly plans: Check-In Reset at $100 per week, Core Reset at $200 per week, and Intensive Reset at $300 per week, billed weekly in your local currency with no upfront lump sum. The first call is free, and you choose a plan together on that call.

Where do you coach, and how does it work?

Everything is online over Zoom, so you can work with Matt from anywhere, including the USA, Australia, the UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore and the UAE. Book a free call to see whether the 8 Week Reset is the right fit for what you are dealing with.
