About Andrew
Andrew has spent the marjority of the last 30 years working in and around the graphic design industry working as a freelance Creative Artworker. Mostly in London but also for other companies around Essex and Suffolk. After living and working in London for 15 years Andrew moved out to Mistley in Essex and has been settled there for the last 16 years.
From 2013-2017 Andrew was working full-time for design agency, Lewis Moberly, commuting into Central London from Essex. Since leaving there he has gone back to freelancing and has been working mainly in Essex/London.
Concurrently with graphic design work he has been developing his coaching skills and has been working part-time from Woodbridge Complementary Therapy Centre for the last 15 months.
Originally the interest in counselling and coaching was for personal development. However in the process of learning and training it became obvious that helping other people with their issues and challenges was very rewarding and this developed into a love of coaching.

Client testimonials
I found in Andrew a like soul who was attuned to my way of thinking and understood, without much ado, where I was and where I wanted to be. He provided me with a safe environment to share private thoughts and emotions and enabled me to look at myself from a different perspective, to let go of old self images and move on to re-imagine my world. Time well spent.
JOHN, COMPANY DIRECTOR
Another knock back put me in a place that I didn’t want to be. So, after three nights of no sleep, I decided to do something about it. I’ve had so many counselling sessions in the past and wanted to try something different. How lucky was I to find Andrew. From my initial meeting I knew I wanted to try NLP. I actually looked forward to our meetings, as every session was different, although you can re visit anything if you’re not sure. Andrew, well, he has a warmth about him that makes you feel relaxed and at ease. I’m not going to go into NLP as it is adapted to you, but here I am a few months later holding my head up high and not looking back.
HELEN, TEACHING ASSISTANT
Whilst studying for my degree in the final stages I was unable to motivate myself to work on my dissertation in spite of having the knowledge at hand. I was actively self sabotaging and procrastinating with no idea why. Working through neurological levels with Andrew uncovered my unconscious reasons for doing so and upon examining and exploring them deeper my motivation returned and I successfully finished.
JOANNE, DEGREE STUDENT
Several years ago I suffered immense trauma that threw me into PTSD. As a therapist myself I understood the neurobiological reasons why the trauma kept coming to the fore leaving me stuck even though I had engaged in much therapy. I had an NLP session with Andrew in which we went through a timeline exercise. During this session I was able to bring into consciousness all the fear that I had felt at the time but had disassociated from. The experience enabled my brain to revisit the trauma and store the memory correctly thus enabling me to move forward.
