Andrew was warm, open and friendly - this meant that I felt very comfortable in talking about emotional and professional issues and was able to be honest about the issues under discussion. Andrew was always very professional, patient and non-judgemental and was able to introduce a range of different approaches and techniques. I really enjoyed our conversations and found them very useful.
