Testimonials

A possible ray of light for those suffering with Long Covid symptoms: Today I ran 3km, without stopping, for the first time since I was ill in March 2020. In October I was pushed to run 100m! I had 4 sessions with Andrew Radley, who is a brilliant Craniosacral Therapist. I approached the first session with a slightly doubtful, open mind. I felt immediately improved. This only lasted around 10 days, so I went back for more. Each time my improvement lasted longer. I've not been back since the early December restrictions in London and I still feel SO much better.'

Andrew is a marvel - with magical hands, and a reassuring manner, he manages to release tensions which are held deep below the surface. CST has helped me keep a clear head and a "more relaxed" body which is imperative in any performance-related career. By listening with his hands to what my body needs - without having to ask probing questions - Andrew has cleared away pent up neck and back tension completely noninvasively, allowing me to breathe deeper and connect more fully, which is not only useful as a singer, but as an educator too. After a CST session with Andrew it feels like I am floating on a cloud, without the emotional and physical tensions I had entered the session with."

Andrew is an immensely gifted and compassionate practitioner. Prior to seeing him, I had struggled for many years with chronic migraine, anxiety, depression and widespread muscle pain. None of these issues had responded to conventional medical treatments and I was not terribly hopeful that Andrew would be able to help me. However, after seeing him on a weekly basis for several months, these physical and psychological issues melted away and I have now (re-)discovered a sense of safety, wellness and emotional connection that I did not believe was possible. Friends and colleagues have commented on the transformation they have seen in me and, for the first time in a long time, I feel like I am really alive. I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough.

Andrew's work is immensely compassionate and trustworthy in enabling an environment of deep stillness and thus healing and true inquiry.

I came to CST in despair, reeling from a tumultuous period of breakups, health scares and chronic stress. I’ve been seeing Andrew for the last six months, and in that time I’ve seen my insomnia, low mood, allergies, anxiety, vertigo and muscle pain recede and my energy restored.

I was nervous about CST at first, but the beauty of it is that it is gentle and your body will never tackle something its not ready for. Instead Andrew will focus on parts of you that are working well, to encourage space, healing and balance. Every CST session is different, but it is a very physical therapy that feels akin to deep meditation or sinking into a warm, hot bath. You walk out feeling zen and aligned. After the first session I felt like I had lost 10kg from all the emotional stress I had been needlessly carrying around. After a few sessions, you become better attuned to your body and you can feel the therapy working in subtle ways in-between sessions as you heal old injuries; energetic, emotional and physical. I have already referred my families and friends to see Andrew. It is my heartfelt belief that in this stressful, urban jungle, everybody needs CST in their life and I will be forever grateful. (RJ)

After clearing past trauma and personal challenges with a therapist, I was open to creating new possibilities in my life and becoming a better version of myself. Andrew was recommended as a follow-up by my therapist and was the perfect ‘next step’. With his wisdom, warmth, kindness, gentle sense of humour and passion for supporting others, he’s empowered me to clarify my values, live with purpose and fulfillment, follow my heart, and become someone I’m happy to live with. His coaching program has helped me to reclaim renewed insight and understanding of myself, it has given me excellent tools to guide and support me whenever life’s setbacks and challenges come my way, and it has enabled me to say Yes to life with openness, curiousity and wonder. I highly recommend Andrew and his Co-Active Coaching for anyone who desires to transform their life for the better.

Rachel Turner: IBD Crohn’s Colitis Recovery Coach

Working with Andrew has been a deeply transformative experience. 

When we began, I was teetering on the edge of burnout - successful on paper but stretched thin, and a bit lost in the noise of my own busy business. Over the course of 10 sessions, Andrew held a gentle, grounded space that allowed me to slow down, reconnect with myself, and hear the quieter parts of me that had been waiting (not so patiently!) for attention. 

His calm presence, deep listening, and subtle insights helped me shift from pressure to peace, from contraction to genuine excitement about what’s next in my life and work. What stood out most was the depth of space he holds - wide enough for my big emotions, playful enough for my inner visionary, and intuitive enough to meet me when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed. His craniosacral experience meant he could tune into what was happening in me even when I couldn’t find the words - which is kind of magic, really. 

I’d highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a different kind of coaching - one that’s more soulful and intuitive than strategy-based, and perfect for those wanting to meet themselves more fully, beyond the roles they’ve been playing. 

I walked away not just clearer and calmer, but reminded of who I am beneath it all - a bit quirky, a bit cosmic, and ready to embrace the next chapter with open arms.

Giselle Monbiot: Breathwork Facilitator and Compassion Inquiry Practitioner

My coaching sessions with Andrew have been so helpful. He is insightful, compassionate and has great tools to get me where I want to be. My self-belief has increased, and I have a much clearer focus which means my business is flourishing more than ever.

Jez Turner: Craniosacral Therapist

I came to Andrew’s coaching feeling like I had lost some direction and wasn’t my usual optimistic self. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Andrew gently guided me to uncover parts of myself I hadn’t been aware of - like my inner leader, who appeared as a bright golden light named Steve (who knew!). With Andrew’s support, I began asking myself, ‘What would Steve say?’ when faced with challenges. The responses that emerged were deeply wise, insightful, and exactly what I needed.

Andrew has an incredible ability to sense what you’re feeling and guide you to bring it to the surface. He helps you to recognize where these emotions come from, empowering you to resolve them yourself. The way he holds space during sessions feels profoundly safe, allowing these inner voices to express themselves, be heard, and understood. I found this experience deeply fulfilling, bringing me an unexpected yet lasting sense of peace and stillness.
