What Others Are Sharing

This course gave me the gift of knowing that it's ALL possible. I just need to get out of my own way and allow myself to creatively FLOURISH
As a coach, Andrea helped me unearth and appreciate the uniqueness of who I am and what I offer professionally. I am forever grateful for her insight and discernment. I enthusiastically recommend Coaching with Andrea.

Andrea is a wonderful teacher and facilitator. She is committed to the success and growth of everyone she works with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and this important course.
Andrea you facilitated the program so well, giving everyone opportunity to share. I loved the diversity of the group in both age and ideas. I also loved that there were a number of us in our 50's 60's who could support one another in realising that we are still worthy and have something to give.
My main take-away-- Don't give up, embrace your future self and nourish her!
Martine Wolff

You have such an amazing energy and it is great how you bring people together. It was amazing to meet you in person and confirm what I felt online. ​

Andy is a true angel. If you are seeking a rediscovery of hope, confidence, someone you can trust (and someone to help you learn to trust yourself again), and true, genuine guidance, Andrea is honestly someone I wholeheartedly refer. She is generous, honest, a beaming ray of encouragement and light, can see a person/idea/concept's truest potential, and also possesses the divine ability to lure it out.
Andrea and her course have helped to redirect me onto a path I was beginning to stray from, and have provided new insights, inspiration, and feelings of hope for me. I recommend her guidance to absolutely anybody.

Andrea has unbelievable breadth of knowledge to offer in business, in production, in psychology and in team building. She is a deep resource for so many aspects of creative business. But it is her kindness and mentorship with which she moulds the culture around her, that may be Andrea's most dazzling and beautiful gift. Andrea is a leader who puts the group first, and the values with which she imbues her network make me want to be a better person and help others too. I have worked with Andrea in a number of capacities, and I could not recommend Andrea enough in any role she may appear in.
Lesley Pinder
Director (Film & TV), Artist Facilitator
Andrea came into my life at a point where I really needed guidance as to how to put myself first for a change, how to believe in myself, and how to limit all-encompassing self-doubt. It was literally a case of me, not knowing I needed a life coach, until I had one! I Andrea is not only a wonderful listener, but is thoughtful, compassionate, and considerate. She is a real problem, solver and adept at getting to the crux of the problem. She set up a group (collaboration, marketplace) and invited me to join, and this group has also been very beneficial to me. Through it, I have expanded my creative network, found new collaborators, and I weekly meetings have been such a solid social support. I can’t recommend Andrea enough!

Wow! Andrea is so welcoming and encouraging! She cut me into unpacking areas I needed to address and gently nudged me into exploring areas for improvement. I left with a plan of attack and a sense that I have got this. Thanks Andrea, I loved it!

Thank you as always for being the most supportive, brilliant, kind-hearted and badass woman I know. You light me up and keep me inspired to go after everything I've ever dreamed of.
Andrea is an incredible coach, business woman and producer. I felt instantly at ease with her during our sessions, and able to discuss my personal and professional challenges without fear of judgement. Her kindness, positivity and determination to improve the lives of others radiates in everything she does. Andrea gave me the confidence to keep going on my creative journey, even when things were rough and seemed impossible. Through her empathy, she gave me greater awareness of my own self-worth and belief, making me a stronger person in the process. Andrea is extraordinary at getting to the heart of what you need, with her honesty, integrity and desire to help you become a better person. I highly recommend Andrea as a coach and mentor, and I can't wait to work with her again. She's one in a million.

I rarely give reviews, but the impact of Andrea’s coaching has been genuine and life changing. Andrea has a rare and special ability to provide insights on ingrained thought patterns and limiting beliefs that have gone unnoticed and unaddressed by my previous coaches and therapists. Andrea has been able to identify many patterns of behaviour that have been holding me back and remove the root cause. This has led to an instant change in how I perceive myself and how I operate, I have witnessed changes happen immediately and post our sessions that I would have never thought possible previously. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have tried other avenues of the same issues and found that they didn’t stick. Andrea has a talent for finding the right solution for each issue. For this first time in my life, I’m confident that I am moving forward and leaving these negative behaviours and limiting beliefs behind. I just wish I had found her earlier. I’m so grateful for Andrea’s expertise.

I found being coached by Andrea to be a very insightful experience. Andrea guided me through some rough terrain (the self and history), with kindness and acceptance. I never felt judged, or that I was on that path alone. She was with me every step of the way with compassion and love. It’s Andrea’s passion for coaching and life, which enabled me to trust and be open in a very short period of time. As an actor and novice writer, my first reference is myself. As a human being, my first reference is myself. My hunger for greater awareness and understanding of the self is invaluable not just personally but professionally, creatively. Something I strive for is to live my life with all confidence and all love. Andrea Buck just gave me a huge leg up. THANK YOU ANDREA MUCH MUCH!!

I like the way Andrea provided a safe and welcoming space, which is very important to me. When doing the exercise of going back to a defining moment, I felt very cared for and supported, as I am part on the journey of truly feeling my emotions which I have always tried to suppress. I never wanted to deal with them, and I just made them feel invisible or so I thought! And I was wondering why my physical body was taking a beating. To go back to the same defining moment made me realise that I am not being kind to myself and it was time to let go of something. I had always found that hard to do. After my time with Andrea, I learned that it is okay and I didn’t know any better at the time frame. That has freed me from that moment. The outcome is that it truly blessed my life having those sessions with Andrea. Now I am fine with sitting with my feelings. I acknowledge them now and I breathe them out and replace with love.

Andrea is always thinking outside of the box and she’s a born problem solver. She’s a lovely, smart and giving person. I wish she was president of the film world!

Andrea is so amazing, she is warm, helpful, knowledgeable, and she made me feel so comfortable when talking to her. She has helped me to understand who I am, and to get clear on what I want to accomplish for myself and my family . She also helped me to confront long held issues, spark my enthusiasm, and pushed my boundaries to help me find the inner me, and to start dreaming again for the things that are really important to me.
Kristin Skye-Sargent
Performer/Producer
Meeting Andrea was literally life-saving. Immediately, I knew she was someone who I could confide, and connect with, without any judgement, and had a heart full of empathy, love, support, compassion, and encouragement. Having just lost all sense of myself through a triggering trauma and suffering from some PTSD, I had lost my way personally and professionally. Andrea not only coached me through this terrible time, she taught me so much about myself. She helped me make sense of the chaos and through only a handful of sessions opened up new pathways for me to follow and guide me through, that she made me see and believe in things about myself. Thanks to Andrea my worth, self-love, and respect feel more real and true than ever. My relationships are less strained, more harmonious, fun, and loving. I’m now gathering the confidence to move onwards and upwards with my career and life. I have never felt so relaxed, calm, and in control. The reason I feel her coaching works so well is she truly cares. She’s your number one fan and has your back no matter what. I’ve never had someone have my back as much as she has. If there's anything I recommend, it's life coaching - wow, and with Andrea Buck - life changing.
Hey sidenote; I work as a performer/producer and began dreaming of one day working in the film and TV world because of a very influential movie I watched years ago called The Jammed. Andrea produced that film. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I’d meet the lady who inspired me to tell moving stories on screen, let alone end up being coached by her. Her energy, love and compassion is electric and contagious. She has set the best example of who, and what to be in all aspects of life, and so that I am so very lucky to have even met her. MANY, MANY THANKS!

Holistic Coach
I have had the good fortune to have had coaching from Andrea Buck and this has truly helped me see some things I was very stuck on, in a new light. Andrea's probing and insightful questions and discussions, really helped me to look at situations from a different, more positive perspective. Andrea has an excellent, questioning ability which helps get right to the core of a matter. I would highly recommend Andrea's services.

Andrea has been so amazing to work with. I have found the sessions so valuable and they have really helped me in so many areas of my life. I couldn’t recommend Andrea and the work she does more highly. She has made such a big impact on my life, and I will forever be thankful to her.

What you have gifted us, with this group marketplace, is truly amazing. I feel, for me, it has been worth being in lockdown just so I’ve had the good fortune to be able to connect with all of you. And without your energy and drive it would not have happened.
Sue Maslin

Andrea Buck is a highly experienced screen professional who I had the pleasure of working with in her role as Convenor of the 2017 Creative Leadership Program for Compton School. Andrea has broad experience as a producer and teacher and combines her courage and intellect to make a difference wherever she works.
David Court
Founder, Compton School
I have known and worked with Andrea Buck for nearly 10 years, in various capacities. Andrea is passionate about her work, and compassionate about those who work with her and around her. Always alert to what is unfolding and to the possibilities, an optimist, a do-er. She is also highly intelligent and very disciplined in the way she approaches the work she is doing. These qualities make her a first-rate colleague and collaborator.

Andrea, you are the best. I completely trust your judgement in all things.
