Matt Phillips

Communication Educator & Neurodiversity Advocate, Host of STA Clinician Podcast, Matt Phillips Education
Matt Phillips is an educator, podcaster, and neurodiversity advocate whose work centres on communication, behaviour change, and inclusive musculoskeletal (MSK) practice. His early career in Strength & Conditioning and Sports Therapy informs his current focus on education, communication training, and evidence‑informed professional development across healthcare and Further Education. Previously known for his work under Runchatlive, Matt’s current focus reflects a clearer direction toward thinking and communication in practice. In Further Education, Matt supports learners whose neurodivergent needs were not fully recognised or accommodated in mainstream schooling. His work focuses on building communication confidence and strengths‑based learning within environments that respond to diverse cognitive and sensory profiles. This experience directly informs his clinician‑facing teaching, particularly around accessibility, psychological safety, and the relational foundations of effective communication. Matt teaches CPD courses in communication and behaviour change, integrating contemporary communication science with neurodiversity‑affirming practice. His work emphasises how small, practical changes in communication can improve understanding, engagement, and clinical outcomes. He founded the Neurodivergent Practitioners in Health & Care community to create psychologically safe, non‑hierarchical spaces where practitioners can share experiences, reduce isolation, and challenge structural barriers within healthcare. Visit: neurodivergentpractitioners.uk Matt also hosts the STA Clinician Podcast, now in its sixth year, which explores communication, clinical practice, and professional culture in healthcare. His current work is brought together at the website Matt Phillips Education (mattphillips.education), focusing on communication, behaviour change, and inclusive clinical practice.
