Mindfulness Coaching
Transform anxiety, stress and anger into calm, confidence and positivity.
If you're fed up of feeling anxious, angry, or stressed you’re in the right place.
Through my coaching you will learn simple, powerful looks to feel calmer happier and more confident. I will also support you to get clearer what your personal and professional goals are and challenge you to take steps towards them each week.
I’m really passionate about what I do because mindfulness has totally transformed my life in every conceivable way, from the way I enjoy food to learning how to let go of stress and anxiety. What drives me is wanting to share what’s helped me with other people. I believe that the key to pretty much all our problems, is learning to be kinder to yourself and more accepting of who you are. I teach people to do that through simple practices that change the way you feel in just a few minutes.
If you’re interested in finding out what it’s like, and whether we’re a good fit for each other, you can book a free 30-minute consultation here.
How much?
I charge £85 per 55-minute session and we will do three sessions per month. Many people experience a significant shift within the first week or two. I recommend committing to three month to see a sustained transformation in your life.
"Andy’s coaching is second to none. He not only helped me deal with my anger, but also gave me back my confidence, reduced my stress and allowed me to feel more calm and anxiety free. I would not hesitate to refer Andy. I will always remember our sessions. Thank you Andy!"

"What can I say but Andy’s literally saved my life. He took the time to understand what was going on and worked with me progressively to improve my mindset while giving me the tools to move forward. I can’t recommend Andy highly enough. If you need someone to help you get out of the situation you’re stuck in, speak to Andy!"

Case Study 1
Stressed, divorced and rock bottom to the happiest I've been in years.
Peter, Bond Trader at Lloyds Bank
The challenge I faced
My wife of 15 years had dropped the bombshell that she didn’t think our marriage was working. It was a massive wake up call. It seemed clear that I wasn’t coping with the stresses and strains of my life and seeking help seemed like the most logical thing to do.
How work stress affected me
The stress I was under meant I wasn't thinking rationally. I was driven by my emotions more than I realised. There was an inability to switch off and create a dividing line between work and home. It had impacted family holidays. I had not been as ‘in the moment’ as I should have been.
I’d let work become too all encompassing and probably slightly forgotten what the important things in life should have been. Living to work, not working to live.
I felt at rock bottom. I couldn’t deny that there were issues that needed addressing.
What changed?
My frame of mind became more positive through the meditation and the coaching. I don’t feel pressured by time any more.
I make time each day for me. Whether that is getting out of the office, going for a walk or a run. Having time in the day when I get things done that I want to do rather than being dictated to by the demands of other colleagues. Giving myself the time to think and do the things that really matter has been enormously positive and enormously helpful.
Impact on family
After I’d been through the coaching I went to visit my aunt and uncle who, knowing the situation I was going through, probably expected me to be a nervous wreck. Actually, the opposite was the case. They commented that it was the first time they’d seen me, for a good number of years, without the weight of the world on my shoulders. Some of the physical manifestations of how I reacted to stress and pressure were gone. I had an ability to be in the moment with them and was far calmer than I’d been on previous visits with them.
Impact on colleagues
I think the team would say that there’s a lighter air. There’s less pressure, more happiness. For the first time in a long time, my default has not been grumpy, it’s been happy.
I think the biggest benefit for me has been being able to take a step back and allow the team to do the job, rather than me feeling that I have to do it or standing over them while they do it. It’s positive for the team and for the wider team that I work in. It helps colleagues develop more than when I was more controlling.
I went into this from a position of scepticism, but for me it’s been life changing. Just having the ability to talk to someone. To have someone to support and encourage but also to challenge. To ask ‘Why are you doing that?’
I’m a strong advocate of mindfulness and coaching as a support and as a management tool. I think it helps personal life and it helps professional life.
Case Study 2
Highly anxious and burned out to back to work and more confident than ever.
Tammy, Nurse
The challenge I faced
I was off work with stress and burnout from my job as a nurse. I was seriously thinking about quitting the profession but didn't know what else I could do.
I've always been the strong one that people came to for support but I had to accept I didn't know what to do.
I was crying just before I spoke to you because I felt so fed up.
My anxiety had got so bad I didn't want to go out or visit a friend on my own. Anxiety was holding me back in every area of my life.
I spoke so negatively about myself it was actually difficult for people to be around.
I felt like I was wasting my years and not living.
What changed?
I did 10 sessions with Andy over 3-months and I feel like a different person.
Before the coaching I described my level of anxiety as 9 out of 10. Now it's 3 out of 10.
Learning to accept the way I feel has been ground-breaking. Now I realise it’s healthy to speak about my emotions. We never did that, growing up.
I enjoy life more, I feel more whole, more content.
Before I was caring for others but not myself, now I care for myself too. It's meant I've been able to go back to work with a completely different attitude.
If I start to feel overwhelmed I take some deep breaths or ask to take a break. I'm managing the anxiety so much better now.
I've got a much better relationship with my mum and brother because we've opened up about our feelings for the first time ever.
I've got more independence because I don't need to rely on my partner as a safety blanket.
I used to be so snappy, and took everything personally and now I’m joking with him like I used to and being my old self. It's taken a lot of pressure of him.
I was getting in my own way before.
Now I'm finding more enjoyment, starting hobbies, feeling more optimistic.
Before the future looked bleak, now it feels exciting and I want to be ambitious.
If you would like to experience a transformation like this in your life, what are you waiting for?
