Create Your Next Chapter

There's no question that the period after redundancy can be stressful and challenging. Gone are your regular income and familiar working routines and relationships. In their place are long stretches of time and a whole range of feelings: uncertainty, fear, anger, relief, frustration, sadness - to name just a few.

Losing your job can also mean a loss of identity. Suddenly the story of who you are has changed. You've been forced into a transition, what I call a 'space between stories'. In a movie, this is where the main character gets lost in the wilderness. It's a time of anxiety and confusion, for sure. But it can also be a period that's rich in creative thinking and opportunities to explore new paths.

Introducing a unique programme to help you explore what's next

Based on my Whole Story method, I've developed an 8-session group online programme to give you space to reflect and take stock. It will also equip you with proven techniques to help change your relationship to difficult thoughts and emotions. And if you feel ready, you'll have the chance to explore options, take fresh steps, and begin writing the next 'chapter' in your career.

Here's what you'll receive

8 x 1-hour online sessions over 4 weeks (max. 5 people in the group)
The chance to share your thoughts, feelings and ideas with a supportive group who are in a similar situation to you
Techniques to help you break free from thoughts and stories that may be keeping you stuck
An original programme that's designed to be fun, while also delivering useful psychological techniques and real practical benefits

You'll take away a portfolio containing:

A summary of your key talents and qualities - and powerful examples of your work stories to bring them to life for future employers or clients
'A Career for Me' Ad: A description of your ideal work to share with others to gain fresh perspectives on what your future career could look like
A Statement of Your Value: To help reinforce your self-worth and make it clear just how much value people receive when they hire you

How we'll work together

8 group Zoom sessions over 4 weeks.

2, 1 hour sessions a week on Mondays and Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:30pm

What clients say

Seb Weston, Strategy Director

"Before signing up to the course I had found myself 'going round in circles' when it came to thinking about my job and what I wanted to get out of life. I knew I wanted to reassess things and find a 'clearer path' of some kind but I didn't know where to start.

What the programme has given me is a different perspective - in fact lots of different perspectives! It's helped me better understand why I think the way I do. And helped me recognise and evaluate the 'stories' I tell myself and how those stories are contributing to this feeling of 'going round in circles'.

The course is a good mix of theory and practical exercises. And Andrew provides lots of great books, articles and video content to support each section of the course.

I really enjoyed the group dynamic too. It gave me a chance to listen to and learn from other people's experiences and ideas, on top of the support and guidance offered by Andrew.

I'd recommend the course to anyone who feels like they're at a bit of a crossroads or is questioning whether they're on the right path. I don't yet have 'the answer' in terms of where I'm ultimately heading, but having done the course, I feel much better equipped to find it!"

Here's my hand-drawn overview of the programme.

Coaching that helps you see the world afresh
Moody. Miserable. Melancholy. Mediocre. There are lots of words beginning with M that might describe how you're feeling right now. But perhaps the simplest is meh. Everything just feels a bit meh.

Of course, there's no REAL reason for this. On paper, you're one of the lucky ones. You're a skilled professional. You live in a nice place. You have friends, family, all that good stuff. And yet you can't escape the sense that something's missing. In the back of your mind, there’s always a feeling of lack.

You're a talented over-thinker and now your analytical brain is on steroids, desperately searching for an answer. This might be showing up in an endless quest for self improvement - and possibly the desire to discover THE meaning of your life. Deep down, there's also part of you that knows you'd be fine if only you could get out of your own way. But you have no idea how to do this.

From the outside, most people wouldn't have a clue that any of this is going on. Your cover story as a successful person is still holding firm most of the time. But inside, it's a different reality.
So what's the answer?

Hello, I'm Andrew. And, believe me, I've been there.

A few years ago, I was a successful advertising creative but on the inside it was all meh. And I had no idea what to do about it.

Eventually, I found a coach, learned a lot about myself, and discovered my own cure.

I'd love to help you do the same.
My coaching is for you if...

You're bright, kind and curious
You’re good at what you do, but pay a price mentally and physically
You tell yourself stories that hold you back
You've lost your sense of fun, your mojo
You're keen to do something that's in tune with your values
You want to take your work to the next level or reimagine it entirely

"Six months ago, my mind felt like a runaway train when it came to work. Fast. Out of control. Heading for a crash. Andrew has been invaluable in putting me back in the driving seat.

If you want greater self-compassion, confidence and clarity about where you are heading and how to get there, work with Andrew.”
Chloe Fowler
Founder at
The Nest Research
"I started working with Andrew as I made the decision to step down from owning a successful research agency and go it alone. I felt sure I was making the right decision, but that was pretty much all I knew. My 8 sessions with Andrew were so helpful. His style shifted to suit my needs – from coach, to mentor, to creative collaborator, to cheerleader, to kind critic. I've gone from being clueless to having a brand, a vision, a website, a strategy. Ultimately, he's helped with the thing I needed to discover the most – my story."

Antony Mason
Technical Operations Lead, GE Healthcare
"In a year of massive change for me personally and the business as a whole, coaching with Andrew helped keep me sane. He supported me, challenged my mindset, and helped me develop clear insight into what I should and could be doing."
What you can expect
How my coaching works

1
A confidant
I'll be a generous listener, encouraging you to share honestly and reflecting back what I'm hearing in a way that allows you to see things differently. This is a space in your busy life to hear yourself think and consider fresh possibilities. Just having someone to talk to who doesn't immediately try to fix your problems can be a huge relief.
2
A cheerleader
Of course, you can rely on me to be in your corner. I'll believe in your potential and innate self-worth every step of the way. However, don't expect me to dole out non-specific encouragement like "You can do it!" It's not helpful. Instead, we'll look at how you self-sabotage and focus on overcoming it. In many ways, this is about helping you become your own best friend - your own cheerleader.
3
A compassionate truth-teller
Coaching is valuable because humans find it really difficult to change on their own. We become masters at rationalising our actions, ignoring our emotions, and finding what confirms our beliefs. Within the context of our trusting relationship, I'll feedback on things that will challenge how you habitually think and act. This can be really useful in helping you see blind spots and learn more about unhelpful behaviours. It's often the first step to meaningful change.
4
A creative thinking partner
Ultimately, this is not a game of coach and client. It's about two intelligent people having an honest conversation. A collaboration of equals. As your thinking partner, my main strength is being able to help you see beyond the blinkers of your own mind. From this new perspective, you'll have more freedom to discover fresh solutions, do things you've been avoiding, and create a more fulfilling life.

You've piqued my interest? What's next?
For anyone who's interested, I block out at least an hour (often, two) for an in-depth discovery conversation.

You'll have time to tell me about your situation and what you'd love to create in your life. Crucially, you'll also experience my coaching. For me, it's about seeing whether I think I'm the best person to help you. I limit my clients to six at any time, so I want to be confident we can create a strong thinking partnership before we start.

Obviously, there's no obligation to sign up after our initial conversation. It's purely exploratory. However, please only get in touch if you're serious about coaching.

You can email me at: andrew@andrewsewell.com

All the best,
Andrew
