Mental Advantage: Where Psychology Meets Performance
Meet the Founder
The Mental Advantage⁺ was founded by Dr Matt Slavin, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, teams, and organisations thrive under pressure.
Matt brings a rare combination of clinical depth and real-world performance insight. His work spans healthcare, elite sport, education, and high-performance corporate sectors, always grounded in applied psychology and human-first leadership.
While coaching often focuses on goals and mindset, Mental Advantage - backed by Clinical Psychology - allows us to go deeper - helping clients & teams safely navigate the stress, emotion, and patterns that impact performance from the inside out.
To date, Matt has worked directly with over 250 organisations and individuals, and trained more than 2,400 individuals through workshops, keynotes, and high-impact programmes. His work has been featured on the BBC, BBC 5 Live, and in Forbes magazine and and his clients trust him to bring clarity, calm, and psychological edge to high-pressure environments.
At the core of his work is one belief: when you strengthen the minds behind your mission, sustainable performance follows.
Through Mental Advantage⁺, Matt helps leaders and teams build the clarity, resilience, and emotional steadiness required to thrive in demanding environments, and lead in a way that lasts.
