About Judith Matthews
Helping people to prepare psychologically for a positive retirement.
What will you do once you've gone travelling, sorted out the garden, installed a new kitchen, reduced your golf handicap and/or spent more time with your family?
Let me help you identify what gives you meaning and fulfilment and what a positive retirement will look like for you.
I have been an adult educator for over twenty years. Currently, a Learning & Development Facilitator at University College London Hospitals (UCLH), I create and facilitate evidence-based leadership programmes for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and administrators.
Whilst completing my Masters in Positive Psychology in 2024, I researched and wrote a 5 session "Preparing Positively for Retirement" programme. I piloted it at UCLH in 2025 and participants encouraged me to share it with anyone who is considering retiring, to help them navigate this major life event.
COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
You prepare for retirement financially but no one prepares you for the psychological shift.
I run the following courses and workshops to help you transition into a meaningful, fulfilling retirement.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ...
As a 60-something, busy, active employee, I was so anxious about the whole notion of retirement, so much so I put it out of my mind hoping it would go away!
So, this was perfectly pitched for me as it provided a number of practical tools and actions that I can take right now to allay all those fears and worries.
Judith delivers – simple as that.
I feel so much better about retirement now. I am even considering bringing the date forward!
Lou MJudith brings brilliant energy to her training and her care for people comes through in everything she does. Her strengths-based "sparkle round" sets such a positive tone, and she’s one of those rare trainers who helps you feel good about yourself while learning something new.
Louise CJudith is an experienced professional educator who writes and facilitates interactive, evidence-based programmes.
Chris BJudith helped me remove my head from the sand.
