What people are saying
Andre has a unique way of teaching with firm conviction but with a gentle and peaceful presentation style. He has a great way of drawing people into what the subject material is that he is presenting.... without just offering easy answers statements.

Andre has a very kind very caring nature and he will do anything he can to help, support or guide anyone who needs it. Andres teachings have been beyond all expectations I ever had. I was made to feel safe, welcome, heard, understood and accepted...you won't regret ever meeting this man he is an absolute inspiration not only to me but so many others. Thank you for everything thing you've taught me Andre

I admire and respect Andre’s approach to mindfulness and wellbeing. Andre is able to make mindfulness and wellbeing accessible, meaningful and applicable to people at any level of self-awareness, and in any context of people’s lives. I highly recommend Andre’s workshops and courses to anyone who wants improved wellbeing.

Andre's knowledge is more than intellectual. It has a way of finding a way to your spirit. You will have a lot of "a-ha" moments with his workshops. Andre is a walking example in that he practices what he teaches.

I have been to a lot of workshops and this by far the most useful workshop that was engaging, relevant, and I can use the information straight away.

Andre has helped me navigate through a lot of barriers by showing me easy and simple methods. He is a man with patience, passion, and heart for what he does to help and guide others. I admire Andre for his work.
It's worth it.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Andre during the many roles he has held founding, developing and growing Evolve Peer Support Trust into the successful organisation it is today, of which I have always been a Board of Trustee member.
Andre’s quiet, strong presence coupled with a great ability to listen and help others , sees people naturally drawn to him. His empathy, developed from lived experience, and his extensive academic knowledge and strong facilitation skills, make him perfect for creating and leading workshops, courses and support groups,
Andre has the ability to recognize people who are struggling with their mental health. He creates space to pause and sit with them, listen, and offer a place where one can just breathe, gather inner strength, and quietly learn from him what knowledge and skills are needed to move towards good mental health. His warmth and gentle encouragement, and the support of that group, saved my life. I will be forever grateful.

I have been to the workshops and support groups and love them both. I keep going back because Andre is always updating his work and I find this very worthwhile in learning about depression.
