Andrew I want to thank you so very much for what you have done for me.

Right from the first day we meet you made me feel really comfortable to share things that I would have never thought I would share with anyone. I am very impressed at how simple your process of change that we worked through was and how it enabled me to address the parts of me that needed work and put everything else in perspective. The change has been inspiring and it feels great to be in control of my life again.

I also want to thank you for your ongoing support when I am having a challenging day – that has been curial for me.

I first met Andrew last September. At the time I was having huge problems with my 19 year old son who in my words had gone completely off the rails. It had been a hard couple of years. He had asked me if I could arrange for him to get some help. He was on anti depressants and was quite desperate. I decided to see if Andrew could help him having no idea what a life coach did. My son started having weekly sessions with him. It was around last October/November that this started. I have been absolutely thrilled with the progress my son has made since then. He is like a different person who is now making goals and is much happier in himself. He has come to terms with a lot of things in his life and has a very good work ethic. I can thoroughly recommend Andrew as I honestly feel he saved my sons life in more ways than one.

I met Andrew approximately six months ago. I had a history of lying, cheating, stealing and hurting people and at the time I met Andrew my bad ways were at their peak. I was also suffering from depression at that time as well. Right from the first meeting with Andrew I felt I could open up to him, much like that of a friend of many years. I started to see Andrew once a week and started to notice a difference in myself, my outlook on many aspects of life, and my behavioural pattern almost immediately. Many people including close friends, employers and family have noticed the difference in me and are extremely pleased with my turn around.
I want to thank Andrew for all his teachings and advice over the past six months and would not hesitate to recommend him and his infectious personality to anyone in need of guidance or in need of a helping hand :

Andrews contagious personality and his ability to identify, clarify and validate situations and issues are nothing short of amazing.
This along with his wonderful sense of humour provide Andrew with all the attributes, I believe, make a superb life coach, or mentor.

Andrew is a forward thinker who lives his own life to the full. I have found him to be open and honest with me about some of the obstacles that I have had to get through. He is a very intuitive and sensitive person who is happy to give in an unconditional way his own experiences and wisdom to me.
I continue to to find him a tremendous source of support and inspiration.

Andrew brings with him a journey that continues to be immensely encouraging with my journey. I met Andrew during a critical moment of implosion in my life. Since then Andrew has walked with me as I struggle to unravel my journey of clutter and chaos. It has been painful and ugly, exhilarating and reassuring all at the same time. During this time Andrew has been direct yet compassionate, ever patient and caring with helping me to bring healing and resolve. As I have moved toward a real sense of clarity about who I was and who I am becoming I know I have a considerable distance to yet walk and explore. It is my definite choice to have Andrew as my life coach during this journey as I continue to experience his unconditional and ongoing support of me.

Andrew Thiele was my life coach for a year, and I greatly appreciate it! Andrew is patient and gentle, yet appropriately assertive and encouraging.

He is a very clear communicator – able to use his own personal and professional experience to illustrate a point or a learning outcome, and I really valued his ‘human’, realistic approach to my situation.

Andrew is an honest and considerate person – in his coaching and support of other people, and honest in how he lives and operates within his personal and professional life. I’d never seen such a straight-up website before Andrew’s!

I found that ‘detached empathy’ was Andrew’s real strong point – an ability to convey his cognitive and emotional understanding of an issue or situation, while remaining suitably detached from it in order to guide and suggest ways for me to manage it.

Andrew’s regular contact with me during my difficult times – he was always available to listen and make suggestions, and never conveyed a sense of frustration or resignation at the ‘backwards steps’ I was choosing to take. Instead, he guided me to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.

I would recommend Andrew as a life coach or support person to anyone looking for a realistic, encouraging mentor and skilled communicator. I have learned a great deal from our coaching sessions, and would now consider him one of my very dear friends.
