Mathew Allen - The Business of Life Coach

About Matthew

I was born in South Ealing, London, in 1969 and grew up with an unwavering drive for ‘success’. Leaving school at 17, I started working life in real estate before moving into finance at 19, determined to carve out a successful career. Over the next 30 years, I built a thriving wealth management business, yet despite my achievements, I realised my true passion lay in understanding human behaviour and personal growth. Having successfully sold the company in 2019 and stepping away from finance, I now focus on coaching, using my own life experiences to support others navigate challenges and create meaningful, positive change. My approach is deeply personal, rooted in resilience, self-awareness, and a firm belief that we are more than the events that shape us.

About Coaching?

When did you last give yourself time to think about what you actually ‘want’ in life? Whether it’s personal, professional or your life as a whole, as humans we tend to end up with ‘what we think’!

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right” (Henry Ford).

The World is Changing

In an era of rapid technological disruption, the question ‘What do I want?’ has perhaps become more urgent. Whether your career has been impacted by AI or you are proactively looking to pivot before the landscape shifts, coaching provides the clarity needed to turn a forced change into a chosen evolution. I will help you navigate the uncertainty of an AI-driven landscape, helping you rediscover the uniquely human skills that no algorithm can replace.

AI-Driven Career Evolution

Navigating Displacement – Moving past the shock of job loss toward a new professional identity.

Future-Proofing Your Mindset – Shifting from a ‘fixed’ career path to an ‘agile’ one.

The Human Advantage – Identifying your ‘soft’ skills that become more valuable as technical tasks are automated.

You Are the Best Expert on Your Life !

Coaching, to me, is about supporting clients in finding their own answers and making meaningful change in their lives. With a background shaped by both success and failure, my greatest qualifications come from lived experience and deep reflection. In addition, I hold a Level 7 coaching qualification from Henley Business School and am both an accredited coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My approach is person-centred and integrative, blending numerous evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I believe in coaching as a partnership of equals, built on trust and respect, where I support individuals to navigate life’s complexities and unlock their full potential.

What Is Coaching

I feel lighter, braver and ready to go.

JS – Hotel Owner (UK)

Being new to the idea of professional coaching I was not sure what to expect, but the sessions with Matt have proved really valuable in terms of allowing me to be honest with myself and see more clearly where I am at, both professionally and, closely linked to this, personally.

EL – Business Owner (Hong Kong)

He helped me understand what is most important to me and what steps to take to get there, using clarity and bravery instead of anxiety.
