“After other courses I just reverted back to my timid self. I thought this might be the same, but instead I have come away feeling enlightened and optimistic and have started putting things into practice.
The content was excellent. I’ve learned not to worry if someone doesn’t like me and to calmly express my feelings instead of holding them in.
My husband has noticed a very positive change in me since the course 😀”

A Self Care & Assertiveness Fitness Programme
We’ve all read books or been on courses, felt good at the time, but then slipped back into old habits afterwards.
This course is different. It’s like a self care and assertiveness fitness programme to help you stretch how you think, build your skills and and apply your changes in your life.
As well as helping you practice your skills, this course also helps you change how you think and feel so standing up for your interests begins to feel right.
- Stretching to help you loosen disempowering beliefs about conflict, yourself, assertiveness or being ‘good’ that might have been holding you back
- Core Strength exercises to build your confidence, integrity and pride
- Cardio — mini challenges to start applying what you’re learning in your life
- Live online Team Talks and coaching with me and other participants to work through problems and keep you on track
About Me
I qualified as a brief solution focused cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist in 1999. Since then I’ve done further study in motivational interviewing, provocative therapy, NLP, coaching and using the body for change.
Clients include the NHS, the Royal Air Force, GP training programmes and hundreds of individual clients.
This course follows a path I’ve travelled myself from believing that my only role in life was to serve others to learning to also accept and support myself. It’s the programme that would have best helped me all those years ago.
“Andy is a smart and very insightful coach. He is caring when he needs to be and tough when he needs to be. Working with him has made me more effective and resilient.”Jules, Artistic Director of the Nursery Theatre, London
“Working with Andrew allowed me to see where I was getting in my own way and unravelled some of the thought patterns that were leading to certain results.
He set challenges that were pitched at the right level to put me out of my comfort zone without being overwhelming. I’m now doing things that I wanted to do before, but felt I couldn’t.”

Is It Right for You?
It will be particularly helpful if you recognise some of these
- You’re great at taking care of others but forget to look after yourself
- You don’t speak up about things that bother you then end up feeling resentful
- Part of you hopes that if you’re kind enough to other people for long enough, they will get the message and do the same for you
- Looking after yourself feels selfish and wrong so you don’t do it
If that’s you, that’s OK. Your kindness towards others is a wonderful gift. It’s just got out of balance. We’ll strengthen your other ‘muscles’ so you can be start being as kind to yourself as you are to others.
The course is
- About doing, not just learning – You’ll get weekly exercises so you bring your changes into your life
- Personal – The weekly Team Talk call and private discussion group mean you have a place to bring up your challenges and get personalised help
- Affordable & Accessible – There’s no need to travel and you can do the exercises when it suits you
- Requires some commitment – You wouldn’t get fit by just watching an exercise class. Same here. You’ll get out what you put in. It’ll be fun!
- Unique – I don’t know of any other course offering the same combination of inner change and practical support.
