About Andrew

Straight‑Talking Coaching Without the Fluff

A Bit About Me

I’m Andrew, the founder of Barnsley Bulldog Coaching. I’m a coach who doesn’t do jargon, gimmicks or the usual “find your niche” advice.

I’ve spent decades working in leadership, culture, performance and organisational change — the real situations people face when work or life gets pressured, messy or uncertain.

How I Work

I use the BREW coaching approach - a straightforward, flexible way of helping you make sense of whatever you’re dealing with.

BREW works well across all sorts of situations:

  • leadership pressure

  • career crossroads

  • SME owners juggling everything

  • executives making high‑stakes decisions

  • burnout and overwhelm

  • confidence dips

  • stressful situations

  • retirement, redundancy and other life transitions

It adapts to you.

Not the other way round.

What You Can Expect

If you work with me, you’ll get:

  • straight talk

  • space to think

  • no judgement

  • no corporate nonsense

  • practical support

  • clarity you can actually use

  • a coach who listens properly

I’m not here to perform coaching.

I’m here to help you get unstuck and move.

Who I Work With

I work with people who want:

  • direction

  • confidence

  • perspective

  • support through pressure

  • help making decisions

  • a reset when things feel foggy

That includes:

  • leaders

  • executives

  • SME owners

  • managers

  • people navigating change

  • anyone dealing with something real

If something’s pulling at your head, your confidence or your direction, this is the right place.

Why Barnsley Bulldog?

I’m proud to be from Barnsley and Bulldog spirit is about honesty, grit and heart. It epitomises my coaching style - straight-talking, real care and never performative.
