I’m Andy, the driving force behind Lightbringer.
A Life Lived, Lessons Learned
As a man in my early 60s, I’ve walked many of the same paths my clients now find themselves on. I’m a father, a grandfather, and I’ve experienced divorce, long-distance and non-traditional relationships, career shifts, and the realities of shared living. I understand what it means to start over, to question who you are outside of old roles and expectations, and to create a fulfilling life on your own terms.
My career as a paramedic and my work in mental health gave me a profound understanding of resilience, adaptability, and the power of truly holding space for others. I’ve seen firsthand how life can change in an instant—and how vital it is to live with intention. These experiences shaped my approach to coaching, making it deeply compassionate, grounded, and practical.
Coaching with Depth and Purpose
Although I’m based in the UK, I work with clients worldwide—especially those in midlife who are seeking clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of direction. Many of the people I work with are adjusting to single life, navigating career transitions, feeling invisible in the workplace, or simply wondering, What’s next for me? If this resonates, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
My journey into coaching was sparked by my own need to make sense of life’s shifts. Working with a coach was the most valuable investment I ever made—it helped me see new possibilities, find clarity, and step into the next chapter with confidence. It was a revelation: when we are truly seen and heard, we can access our own wisdom in ways we never thought possible. That experience changed me, and it led me to train with Animas, a leader in transformative coaching rooted in humanistic psychology.
A Different Kind of Coaching
My coaching is spacious, empathetic, and creative. I don’t impose a rigid framework or offer quick-fix solutions. Instead, I create a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs without judgment. We look at the bigger picture—your identity, lifestyle, and wellbeing—because true fulfilment comes from alignment in all areas of life.
At its heart, my work is about helping people step into the next phase of life with confidence, meaning, and excitement. Lightbringer isn’t about following someone else’s path; it’s about rediscovering your own.
Clients describe my approach as refreshing, transformative, and deeply human. If you’re ready to challenge the changes in your life, reconnect with your purpose, and embrace what’s next, I’m here to help.
