A healthy mindset and better relationships
at home, work and school

I’m Andrea, a highly experienced Coach and Mentor.

I want you to be confident, motivated, adaptable and resourceful. I also want you to be in fulfilling relationships, where people respect your individuality and you respect theirs.

Being human is hard; and relationships can be hard too. Doing either of these things well will require changing attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, skills and actions.

It may feel daunting but I can help you with every step. Currently, my youngest client is 11 and my oldest is 88 – you’re never too young or too old to prioritise yourself and your relationships! I specialise in working with Professionals and Parents.

Andrea’s Approach
Stronger Relationships | Coaching & Mentoring

Coaching & Mentoring

Work on yourself and choose to build better relationships

The only person you can control is you. By working on yourself, you can find better ways to relate to who and what is important to you.

Changing beliefs and attitudes works by making choices, taking action, accepting responsibility for successes and failures – and then repeating the cycle again. Over time, this increases your knowledge, skills and ultimately your self-worth.

The result is an authentic and psychologically healthy way of being you. Take this into your home, work and school; and see what changes for you!

I can help you; and I can support you to help the important people in your life do the same. I offer online and in-person (Norwich) appointments to individuals, couples, families, and teams.

Work With Me

Ask Andrea

Can’t meet face to face?

This is an accessible place to get practical advice and emotional support by email. Ask me something and get a full response, direct to your inbox. Email support is popular for a number of reasons. Many prefer privacy. Some clients tell me they hardly ever have a moment alone. Others are time limited and some live in different time zones.

Ask Andrea is an option that gives you access to support and advice, privately. You’ll book an hour in my calendar and get an email in your inbox at the end of that hour.

Client Reviews

You are important, and I want you to invest in yourself. This means I need to give you what you want in return for your time and money. Hiring a coach is a leap of faith – it’s important to find someone who you feel safe with, and who you ‘click’ with. Here are some reviews that may help you decide whether that someone is me.

    Smart, funny, direct, deft and caring: Andrea’s approach gets through to all ages and styles – from teenagers to academics; parents to management executives; and teachers to business owners.

  • Parenting can be tough - get yourself the best, life-changing support you can

TEDx Talk

I have learnt that relationship is the best system to change behaviour

Instead of compliance and control, focus on consideration and respect. Increase emotional intelligence and help children work out problems instead of arguing about them. As your relationship grows, children will trust you, respect you and be influenced by you.
