Matt Thomas

Holistic Coaching Practitioner, Addiction Professional, Recovery Practitioner and Professional Mediator based in England

About me

I am a dedicated practitioner for individuals helping navigate issues with their mental health, alcohol or other substances and behavioural challenges.

As a certified Holistic Coaching Practitioner, Addiction Professional and qualified family and business mediator, I specialise in guiding individuals through complex situations, with a focus on fostering resilience, improved communication, and community building. My experience spans diverse industries, particularly in entertainment and sports, where I provide tailored support services through Bulbarrow Consultants and Attune.

With a background in the music industry from 1991, I've held directorial roles in record labels and artist management, working with renowned artists globally. Transitioning into mediation and recovery practice in 2013, I've facilitated dispute resolution within creative spheres, coached, mentored, and case-managed numerous individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges.

I am Co-Founder of, and currently serving as the Chair of Trustees for the charity Music Support, which helps members of the UK music community struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Additionally, I contribute to national campaigns as a Marketing and Communications freelancer with Forward Trust and Taking Action on Addiction.

As a public speaker and panellist, I leverage my firsthand experiences to foster empathy and connection with audiences, offering a non-didactic, experiential perspective on various topics.

My Approach

I view my practice as a collaborative journey of problem-solving and personal development, creating a safe environment where we explore challenges and develop effective strategies for growth.

My approach is particularly attuned to co-existing issues such as neurodiversity (including ADHD), PTSD, trauma, and attachment issues. I understand that many challenges stem from these unrecognized or unaddressed underlying factors, and I work with clients to identify and begin addressing these root causes.
Our work together focuses on:

• Understanding your unique thinking and behavioral patterns
• Developing strategies that align with your natural way of processing
• Building on existing strengths while addressing growth areas
• Creating practical, sustainable solutions

Sometimes, the path to your goals requires clinical expertise beyond coaching. I maintain a network of trusted professionals, including psychiatrists, therapists, and specialized practitioners. If additional support would be beneficial, I'll discuss this openly with you. I receive no financial benefit from referrals - my priority is ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your needs.

You're gaining not just a coach, but a partner committed to your success, supported by a global network of trusted clinicians and practitioners.

As a member of the Global Code of Ethics for coaching, mentoring, and supervision, I'm committed to providing the highest standard of care while adhering to strict professional guidelines. This includes taking a trauma-informed approach - while I don't treat trauma directly, I create an environment that acknowledges how past experiences influence current challenges.
