Matthew Wellington
Entrepreneur & Behaviour Analyst
Helping people develop as people, leaders, and entrepreneurs using psychology and the behavioural sciences.
Meet Matthew
Matthew is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, specialising in organisational behaviour management, consumer behaviours, and positive behaviour support.
He graduated from a BSc Psychology in 2016, followed by an MSc Behaviour Analysis and Therapy in 2018. He began his career in social care, supporting care organisations to implement positive behavioural support systems, completing behavioural assessments and designing behaviour change procedures for individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism.
Having a keen interest in business and marketing, Matthew then decided to use the same behavioural principles that he applied in social care settings, to staff teams and consumer behaviours. This sub-disclipline is known as Organisational Behaviour Management.
In addition to this, growing up without much money, Matthew has always had a keen interest in personal finance, and helping individuals move towards financial freedom. As a result, Matthew created OptionalRetirement.com to document his own journey towards financial freedom, and to support others to do the same.
