LIFE IS SHORT

'I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew at the above address for almost 2 years.  First of all, in the capacity of being my supervisor at placement when I was a student Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and then laterally as a colleague, when he was my supervisor in his role as Senior Recovery Worker. In his role as my supervisor, he was always very supportive, attentive and created an excellent therapeutic alliance through being attentive and supportive. In my capacity as a student Andrew nurtured my learning and encouraged me to develop my own learning style.  As a colleague, Andrew was supportive in developing my skills as a Group Facilitator, working with addiction. As a tutor, Andrew assessed potential clients suitable for the Cyrenian Empowerment Recovery Programme (CERP).  He brought his own professional style when he developed and facilitated group sessions for clients in currently in Recovery, which led to participants feeling more empowered, improved confidence and self-esteem.'
