  • Really Good Refresher

    Really good refresher course – definitely worthwhile to remind me of what to look out for / questions to ask / where to guide people. Great way to conduct the sessions too with contribution in the chat / questions / break out sessions and not making anyone feel uncomfortable. Also good to know we have the app / manual at our finger tips for guidance / contacts. Credit to Andy.

  • Skilled Facilitator

    Andy is such a skilled facilitator of the safe space needed to explore Mental Health related subjects. His ability to blend the serious and potentially triggering material, with his gentle self-deprecating sense of humour, and his own lived experience is superb. Thank you Andy, I always, always feel stretched and nourished and held when learning with you.

  • Encouraging and Supportive

    Andy is very welcoming to everyone in the room. As a trans-nonbinary person I felt immediately comfortable when he introduced himself including his pronouns. He delivers the course very well and is encouraging and supportive of everyone’s questions and opinions.

    Andy is just a joy to work with. You feel confident and knowledgeable after a learning session with him, and he doesn’t make you feel afraid to ask questions.
