For Birth Professionals
Support and mentoring for midwives, students and birth workers
For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to enhancing maternity services and supporting the professional growth of midwives and student midwives.
My expertise extends across professional development, education, mentoring, and advocacy within both clinical and academic settings. I have participated in national-level discussions aimed at improving maternity services and co-authored a book that delves into cultural issues within midwifery.
As an experienced midwife, former midwifery lecturer, NHS team leader, trade union representative, and student mentor, I possess a deep understanding of the complex demands and emotional landscape of our profession.

Testimonial
"Andrea was extremely supportive when I needed to discuss increasing work pressures, demands and workplace bullying. I felt in a safe, calm space which allowed me to open up and discuss my work concerns. Her compassion, empathic listening and understanding immensely helped at a very difficult time. Andrea has such a calming presence and fully understands the stresses of currently working in Midwifery, within the NHS. I have also spoken with her on a couple of occasions when applying for new employment. Her assistance with the personal statement and advice for the interview process were excellent. She has an optimistic outlook on life which rubs off on everyone she speaks with. When I first met with Andrea, I was feeling very low, like an imposter at work, and doubting my abilities to continue practising. I left her home feeling like anything is possible with the right support. If you are feeling worthless at work, stuck in a never-ending cycle of pressures and unrealistic demands I would highly recommend meeting with Andrea"
