Matt Hodges

I help successful professionals become successfully happy.

You've built the career. You've hit the milestones. And yet something feels off - a persistent gap between how your life looks and how it actually feels. You likely can't quite name it. But you know it's there.

That's where we start.

I'm Matthew Hodges, Qualified Life Coach, Engineer & Project Manager, and founder of MH Conscious Coaching

I work with successful professionals - MDs, directors, senior managers, engineers and business owners who have achieved a great deal and still don't feel right. Not because something is wrong with them, but because nobody has ever helped them look beneath the surface of their own life with genuine honesty and care.

This isn't about fixing you. It's not about pushing harder, achieving more or becoming a better version of yourself because the current one isn't good enough. Chances are that approach is what has brought you to me today.

It's about reconnecting you with the clarity, confidence and peace that has always been there - buried beneath years of pressure, performance and the relentless pursuit of more.

Most people, and indeed coaches, come to personal development from a place of lack. A feeling that they are not yet enough - that if they achieve more, fix more, become more - they will finally feel worthy. So they push. They achieve. And then wonder why the feeling still doesn't come.

My approach starts somewhere different entirely and is known as the Unfoldment Paradigm (credit to Steve March of Aletheia Coaching). The idea that growth isn't about becoming something you're not, but unfolding into more of what you already are.

Like an acorn that contains everything it needs to become an oak tree, all it needs is the right conditions to grow - you already hold within you everything required for the life you're searching for. The work we do together simply creates those conditions.

You are not broken. You are not lacking. You are whole - and you always have been.

After all, my deep belief from lived experience is that happiness leads to success and not the other way around. This work is about bringing you to that true happiness.

The Programme

At the heart of my work is The Foundations of Successful Happiness - a bespoke 1:1 coaching programme delivered over approximately four months. It consists of 10 coaching sessions of up to 90 minutes, plus 3 accelerator sessions:

DISC Behavioural Profiling: Understand why you behave the way you do, and why the people around you behave the way they do.
Values Elicitation: Uncover what has genuinely been driving or quietly blocking you, often for years.
Understanding Your Mind: Neuroscience and philosophy combined, covering how beliefs form and the truth that you are not your thoughts.

The programme is built around seven foundations that are interwoven throughout our time together - Understanding Your Mind, Self-Acceptance, True Confidence, Core Values, Limiting Beliefs, Behavioural Awareness, and Life Direction & Purpose. We move through them at your pace, in the order that serves you best.

Whilst these foundations underpin our work together, this is not a rigid programme. Every journey is bespoke. My job is to bring the right foundations at the right time, in response to you and where you are.

My Approach

I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) - a powerful methodology for understanding the different parts of ourselves that are often running our lives without our conscious awareness. I am also accredited in DISC behavioural profiling and hold a Diploma in Life and Performance Coaching, all accredited by the ICF.

A bit about me

Before coaching I spent over 15 years in various corporate roles and industries. I started in aircraft engineering, moved into security and defence up to operations manager, and finally professional project management in construction. That background gives me a grounded, no-nonsense lens that my clients - particularly those from analytical or corporate backgrounds - find genuinely useful.

Whilst I am calm and methodical in my approach, I specialise in doing honest, deep, human work that creates permanent shifts.

The Foundations of Successful Happiness
At the heart of what I offer is one core programme - The Foundations of Successful Happiness.

Not a fixed curriculum delivered the same way to everyone, but a bespoke journey built around who you are, where you are, and where you genuinely want to go.

At its heart are seven foundations - the bedrock a truly successful and ultimately happy life. We move through them at your pace, in the order that serves you, with the tools and depth each one requires.

The Foundations of Successful Happiness. A bespoke four-month coaching programme for successful professionals.

What's included:

10 bespoke 1:1 coaching sessions - Up to 90 minutes each. Flexible scheduling built around your life. The core of the work - led entirely by you, guided by me.

Accelerator Session: DISC Behavioural Profiling - Understand why you behave the way you do and how to work with your personality rather than against it. You'll also gain a deeper understanding of why the people around you behave the way they do - transforming not just your relationship with yourself but with the people closest to you. 

Accelerator Session: Values Elicitation - A guided process to uncover what has genuinely been driving - or quietly blocking you in career and life often for years.

Accelerator Session: Understanding Your Mind - Neuroscience and philosophy combined - An informative session on how beliefs form, why the mind defaults to the negative, what self leadership is, what the true self is and the key to healthy thoughts.

Investment: £2,500 A monthly payment plan is available. We can discuss this on your discovery call.

The real question isn't what this costs. It's what staying where you are is costing you.
The professionals I work with are already investing significantly - in their careers, their businesses, their families. What they haven't yet invested in is themselves. Not deeply. Not with this level of intention.

If someone could genuinely help you feel at peace in your life - not just occasionally, but consistently, what would that be worth to you?

This is not a quick fix. It is not a course, a programme of tips, or a series of motivational conversations. It is a permanent shift in how you understand yourself and how you move through the world.

The clients who have done this work don't describe it as an expense. They describe it as the most important thing they did.

Other Ways to Work Together
Every situation is different. If the primary programme isn't the right fit, let's talk.

For clients whose needs fall outside the core programme, I offer bespoke arrangements built around your specific circumstances. All of these begin with a conversation.

Long-term coaching - Six months to a year or beyond. For clients who want sustained support as they navigate significant change. Pricing is bespoke.

Executive coaching - For senior leaders and executives seeking performance, clarity and fulfilment at the highest level. Tailored in scope and investment.

DISC Profiling - A standalone behavioural profile and debrief session. Available individually or for teams and organisations. From £149.

Let's Talk
The discovery call is free, informal and entirely without pressure. It's simply a conversation - about where you are, what you're looking for, and whether working together makes sense. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
