It has been my privilege to be Andrew’s professional supervisor since 2023. During this time Andrew has value added to his genuine warmth and insightful wisdom by continuing his learning and professional development.

Andrew is a genuine, wise and compassionate individual and his thirst for knowledge, his extensive training and personal experiences in life combine to present a counsellor who raises the bar of the counselling profession and certainly makes me proud to be a counsellor and his supervisor.

If you are seeking professional guidance, empathy, support and a place to feel heard, I highly recommend Andrew as your counsellor. He provides both online and face to face service, so geography is no barrier.

I first met Andrew through a recommendation from a mutual friend during a difficult time in my life, following my divorce. My initial counselling session was meant to last just forty-five minutes, but it ended up lasting two and a half hours, as I felt so comfortable and at ease with Andrew.

From the moment we began, I was struck by Andrew’s calm and empathetic nature. He created a relaxed, safe space that allowed me to open up about the issues and challenges I was facing. I never felt rushed or pressured; it felt as though we had known each other for years.

Having served in the British Army before coming to Australia, we quickly connected over our shared military experiences. This common ground made it easier for me to trust Andrew, and it was clear how passionate he is about supporting veterans. He is genuinely committed to creating a space where veterans like myself can begin important conversations and work on a solid plan for support.

Andrew’s impact on my life has been profound. His kind and measured approach has helped me gain new perspectives and a sense of clarity. As a great listener, he also shares his own experiences, which adds a personal touch to his reflections.

I can honestly say that working with Andrew has significantly improved my mental well-being, and I cannot recommend him enough. His support has truly made a difference in my life.

I have had the immense pleasure of working and knowing Andrew for over thirty five years. Which all started within the Australian Army back in 1989. We were both Private Soldiers in the 3rd Royal Australian Regiment, Parachute Battalion. We both served in the same Troop of men, as part of 'Charlie' Company. It was during this time. While serving at home and abroad, under some arduous conditions, I got to know and fully appreciate Andrew as an individual. Those early military days of our lives have certainly maketh the man we see in Andrew today.

 Andrew lived and breathed the Regiment core values. Which makes Soldiers that little bit different from our civilian brethren I feel. These being compassion, integrity and humility. Combined with being cheerful, unselfish and determined. These wonderful traits Andrew has lived up to every single day since I firmly believe. 

 As a former veteran myself. Serving sixteen years in the Parachute Battalion, Commandos and Special Air Service Regiment. I have had my fair share of trauma and setbacks. One thing that resonated with me in all my psychological troubles was needing to be 'understood'. I feel a person with Andrew's experience and abilities from a 'soldier first' perspective, will add so much value to assisting our veteran community. Andrews natural supportive nature and wonderful listening skills will assist greatly in comforting all those that seek shelter. 

 Andrew has taken many years to obtain this wonderful skill set of qualifications, which is a huge testament to his tenacity and stoicism. In short, Andrew just wanted to help young veterans in need. I cannot think of a greater individual than Andrew who can undertake such a calling.

I have known Andrew since 2016, both as a friend and colleague, and in a professional capacity. Andrew is a warm, friendly person with a certain charisma that makes you automatically feel comfortable, not only to talk and open up but also in his physical presence.

As a victim/survivor of harm by males throughout my life, Andrew has broken down those walls with his gentle nature, proving that not all men are the same.
I have witnessed Andrew’s growth in his counselling knowledge, and when combined with his personal gentleness and ethics, it creates a dynamic approach to helping others

I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew’s unique ability to be able to make his clients feel truly heard and feel that their experiences are validated. Andrew offers his clients actionable advice, partnering and guiding them to wellness and a feeling of empowerment.

I have also witnessed Andrew in Group Work at the Quest for Life Foundation, he has a unique ability to make both male and female clients feel comfortable, seen and truly listened to. I have seen him manage difficult situations with poise, gentleness and grace.

I strongly recommend Andrew.
