Most coaches, therapists, and educators charge anywhere from £100 to £500 per month for this kind of value. But I decided to create one that will help you get more from life without breaking the bank
Time does not heal all wounds
Growing up in a family where you did not get what you needed has life long effects – unless you actively do something about it.
You can go…
From this:
- You exhaust yourself trying to be someone you are not because deep down, you believe you're not good enough as you are
- You constantly seek validation from others, yet no amount of external approval ever feels like enough
- You struggle to trust your own judgement, second-guessing even the smallest decisions
- Your relationships suffer because you either push people away or become overly dependent on them
- You feel like you're wearing a mask, terrified that if people saw the 'real you,' they would reject you
- You're tired of the constant anxiety, people-pleasing, and feeling like you're always walking on eggshells
- You see others living confidently and wonder why it seems so much easier for them
- You know you have potential, but something always holds you back from fully expressing yourself
- You're exhausted from the constant inner criticism and can't seem to silence that harsh inner voice
- Despite your achievements, you still feel like an impostor waiting to be exposed
To this:
- You feel naturally comfortable being exactly who you are, trusting your inherent worth
- You've developed a deep sense of self-validation, feeling complete and confident from within
- You trust your intuition and make decisions with clarity and conviction
- Your relationships are authentic, balanced, and nurturing, where you can be fully yourself
- You show up as your true, unfiltered self, feeling safe and secure in your authenticity
- You experience inner peace, setting healthy boundaries with grace
- You move through life with quiet confidence, inspired by your own unique journey
- You fully express your potential, taking bold steps aligned with your true values and desires
- Your inner dialogue is kind, compassionate, and supportive, celebrating your growth
- You recognise your achievements as genuine reflections of your capabilities, feeling proud and deserving
It is hard to put a finger on the problem and other people don’t really get it, so they tell us to be happier by:
- accepting how things are and try to make the best of what you have (but deep down you know there must be more to life)
- doing some exercise, yoga, meditation or take some time out (except it doesn’t stop the anxiety that you’ll have regrets later in life)
- reading some books on how to change your mindset to be more happy and positive (which can make you feel worse for not really feeling happy and positive)
- getting a new job or qualification (but you don’t know what you really want to do or you aren’t sure you could actually do what you really want to do)
- going on an overly expensive course that still leaves you feeling stuck, lost, or unsure what you should do next and offers no support to take the next steps
- going to see a therapist to work through whatever is that is making you so unhappy (which can take years and thousands of £s/$s and even then you may not have a clear plan)
But when this doesn’t help, it just becomes another thing to feel bad about
There is nothing wrong with you that these things, and others you’ve tried, haven’t helped
With our tested signature programme it is possible to overcome the emotional wounds of childhood and feel better about yourself and live a life you love
Who am I and what do I know?
Hi, I’m Matthew,
Researcher and educator in child abuse and maltreatment and what it takes to overcome the effects of harmful pasts. Having gone through – and still on – my own journey to living authentically, I understand the transformative power of the right guidance.
As a social worker (RSW), academic (PhD), and published author, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others who have been affected by their upbringing.
Drawing from my personal experience, professional practice, and research, I’ve created this programme to help you to let go of who you have been made to be, fully embrace and express your feelings, and build a life you love on your own terms.
I have been lucky enough to attend the courses offered by the Centre for Emotional Education and the impact on my life has been profound: from helping me decide upon my vocation to proposing to my wife, I have relied upon the principles that are taught to help guide me to choose love over fear. What I have learnt through attending the courses has been nothing short of transformatory

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly do I get when I sign up?
A: You get all of the learning material that can be accessed 24/7. This includes the lessons, exercises, activities, planners, worksheets, and other material that have been designed to help you get the most out of the programme. You get access to the community. You get access to all current and future bonuses and resources that are developed as part of the programme. All of this is worth well over £500 and it is available for just £7 a month.
Q: Can I try before I buy?
A: We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked. If you sign up and think this is not for you within that time, we will refund your money.
Q: What happens if I want to cancel my membership?
A: You can cancel at any time. You have access to a customer hub, which has a simple button to cancel your membership.
Q: Why should I act now?
A: We have made significant changes to how our programme runs and so we are offering this at a discount at the moment. But the price will not stay this low for long.
Q: Are there any hidden fees or additional costs?
A: There are no additional costs or hidden fees. You pay a monthly subscription to gain access to everything within the programme and that will not change once you are signed up and continue to pay your monthly subscription. We do offer additional 1 to 1 sessions for those who want them at an additional cost, which are only available for members.
Q: I'm not very tech-savvy; will I be able to use this platform?
A: Yes. All you need is access to the internet on any device and knowledge of how to use an internet browser. The exercises and activity sheets and workbooks are best completed on a computer, rather than a phone, so you can more easily see what you are writing. But you can access everything using any internet browser. If you experience any issues then just reach out to us and we will help to get the issue sorted.
Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: Most people start to see deeper hidden issues almost as soon as they engage in the material. Most start to express their authentic selves more easily within a few weeks. Most discover their purpose and create a plan for the life they want within a few months. But of course, this all depends on the amount of time and commitment you put into the programme!
Q: What if I don't have much time to dedicate each week?
A: The beauty of this being a low-cost membership, with materials that are available when you need them, and ongoing support, is that the programme is flexible and you can work at a pace that is best for you – both practically and emotionally. Another strength is that the longer you are in the programme the more opportunity you have for engaging with experienced facilitators and fellow members, meaning you can get more out of the programme. Most of the lessons and activities are purposefully designed to be short enough that you can do it around a busy life.
Q: How is this different from other similar programmes?
There are some programmes that are similar, but these are time-limited courses, such as over a few days to a week, and high-cost, with most starting anywhere from £500 and going up to over £10,000. We have been delivering such programmes for decades and have always wanted to ensure anyone can get the help and support they need from such material and expert guidance. A low-cost membership allows for anyone to join and get ongoing help and support until they are where they want to be in life – not just finish it just because the course has ended!
Q: What kind of support can I expect?
A: There is a discussion forum within the programme where you can ask questions and to engage with programme leads. Any questions and issues will be responded to quickly. The discussion forum is also there for the community so you can engage with other members and gain mutual support.
Q: What if I buy and want a refund?
A: We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked. If you sign up and think this is not for you within that time, we will refund your money.
Q: Do I need any special equipment or software?
A: No. Just a device that is connected to the internet. It is best on a computer but you can manage on a phone. We do ask people to sign up to a Google account so you can use Google Docs, but this is all explained within the programme and help is on hand if you get stuck, and this is very easy to use.
