Matthew Bushell
Matthew Bushell is a certified Therapeutic Coach, BA (Hons), writer and storyteller. He grew up on council estates in Northamptonshire, UK within a family who fostered children with complex needs. After failing his school exams, and to improve his opportunities, he joined the army and began his IT career which took him all over the world.
Amongst the many successes he experienced there were also many breakdowns. In his 20’s he was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, substance use disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, Dyslexia and Hypertension. Instead of allowing his state to hold him back, he chose, rather, to commit to his recovery and personal development.
Matthew studied a BA in Creative Writing. He learned about its therapeutic benefits working in schools, health, social & community settings as an applied arts and health practitioner, and in Europe's largest Mental Health hospital as a Neuro-Physiotherapy assistant and wellbeing coach. His experience working with a broad range of people from health professionals to individuals with complex needs, led to Matthew developing a deep appreciation for, and understanding of, the effect of emotions on the human condition.
Matthew has completed his FUSION® Therapeutic Coaching diploma accredited by the National College of Further Education and Association of Coaching. Matthew is also a registered member of the Association of Coaching and receives regular supervision.
Matthew works with 5th Place to support people to build emotional fitness and optimise their mental health and wellbeing.
