About Matt Keenan

There was a time when I couldn’t see a way out.

Not from the anxiety. Not from the overthinking. Not from the weight I carried every day as a father, partner, and man trying to hold it all together.

I was mis-diagnosed with depression and put on medication, the dosage kept going up, but the numbness never went away. Eventually, I reached the darkest place a person can go: convinced that the only way out was to end my life.

But that wasn’t the end. It was the start.

Through months of therapy, reflection, and hard inner work, I began piecing myself back together.
Not into who I used to be but into the man I was meant to become.

I created The Anxious Lad not just to tell that story, but to offer something I couldn’t find when I needed it most: real tools, raw conversations, and a roadmap for change.

If any of this feels familiar…
If you’re holding everything together on the outside while falling apart on the inside, I want you to know, there’s a way out.

I work privately with men through The Resilience Programme — a 12-week experience designed to help you rebuild your clarity, confidence and calm from the inside out.
