Coaching

Coaching leaders, I use all of me to help all of you. So you can do your best thinking, overcome your challenges and achieve your full potential. Can we connect?

I am accredited as a Senior Coach Practitioner and Coach Supervisor by EMCC Global - the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

Dual-trained as a therapist, I am also a member of the coaching division of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

In a diverse career I have 25 years' UK board experience across business (corporate law), the public sector (NHS, education and emergency services) and the voluntary sector (arts & heritage, community and healthcare). 

Among the challenges I work with are:
  • Change
  • Work/life balance 
  • Confidence
  • Culture and diversity
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Communication and influencing
  • Difficult people/ situations

Andrew has a can-do attitude... not afraid to tackle difficult issues, he encourages a climate of high expectations - plc exec

Supervision

My supervision training covers a range of helping professions. I have worked with coaches, counsellors & psychotherapists, spiritual directors and clergy.

I hold ESIA coach supervisor accreditation with the EMCC.

My foundation is person-centred and holistic: I encourage you to bring your whole self, including your need for self-care, to the supervision space.

I integrate Hawkins & Shohet's 7 eyed model, for the 6 processes of supervision (Leach & Paterson) and 5 tasks of supervision (a modification of Inskipp & Proctor). I also use creative approaches to supervision. 

Thank you for the facilitative role you have played in my growth and development. I appreciate your warmth and intellect - supervisee working through professional and cultural changes

 Therapy

How can I help?

Are you finding life harder than usual? As a qualified therapist I can provide a safe space to listen to what you really want to say, without judging you for what you do, say, think or feel.

Working with a “person-centred” approach, I take the view that you are the expert on yourself. I seek to bring a warmth and gentleness to my approach, which can help us to face deep and difficult issues together. 

I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist. I have an MSc and PhD in counselling and psychotherapy.
