A friend recommended Andrew to me - and I’m so glad she did. I hadn’t heard of CST before, but it’s become an essential way for me to connect into my nervous system and relieve some of the symptoms of my long-term health condition. Andrew is incredibly intuitive and empathetic, and made me feel comfortable from the very first session. After trying a few alternative therapies, it’s been the most effective treatment I’ve experienced.

Andrew is a wonderfully skilled and intuitive healer whose hands really listen and hear what the body is saying, at the level beyond and before words. I have been to him over several years for support with various physical and nervous system issues, and have gained so much strength from each session, with insights verbal and non-verbal that have helped knit together a clearer sense and understanding of my whole self. I always leave feeling both more substantial and lighter, held and integrated on all levels. If you're in any way curious about what craniosacral therapy might offer you, go and see Andrew. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Andrew has transformed my life! After a traumatic and intense moment in my life, I found myself with emotional and physical blockages - to the point I could barely walk. I started treatment with Andrew over a year ago, and from the first session he has not only relived me from the physical pain, but also connected my body, mind and soul, in the most subtle way, making space in my body and allowing things to flow again in a natural way.

During the sessions, Andrew makes me feel heard and seen by asking gentle questions about the sensations in my body. His approach is so gentle and no evasive that I was able to tap and discover childhood traumas that I have never been able to name before. He also offer intuitions and provide practical techniques to work with your emotions / feelings on a daily basis. Andrew allowed my body to find healing in silence and stillness. I feel empowered again.

I am 76 and have been going to Andrew about every three weeks for several years now and l have found cranial sacral therapy really works for me. I have several health problems mainly respiratory problems and a back problem causing neuropathy in my leg. Andrew has been great at improving these conditions for me especially my breathing which is so much better and my back is painless most of the time now enabling me able to walk better. I also was amazed last year when he cured bad pain instantly after a tooth extraction which l had had for two weeks.

Andrew is wonderful at listening to and understanding your problems (not just your physical ones but your emotional ones as well) and using that knowledge to tune into your body to work to release the blockages which are causing the problems. He is kind and sympathetic and is genuinely concerned for your well- being. The treatment is gentle and all you feel is a warm sensation from his hands working mainly on your back, nothing more except a little tingling in parts of the body sometimes. You just lie on the couch and relax or he can treat you sitting in a chair. You can talk to him if you want while he treats you. I come away feeling great and l really recommend cranial sacral therapy. Andrew has enabled me to continue living the life l want to live, doing the activities l want to do, despite my age. Thank you Andrew for all you have done for me. So grateful.

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.

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 one of the most effective therapists and one of the most authentic people I have ever encountered! He is so genuinely driven to help and heal, I feel so grateful to be a patient. It is not often that someone like Andrew enters your life, so for this I feel blessed.

Andrew will delve into parts of your psycho-somatic self that you somehow knew needed healing, but weren't conscious of. Prepare yourself for a deep, spiritual adventure with Mr. Radley, and be confident he will guide you with compassion.

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. 

I’ve found that CST is able to regulate my body's energetic flow. When a “blockage” I'm feeling is addressed during a session, I can clearly feel the blocked part of my body re-establish an energetic connection with the whole and tension is resolved. CST aids me in finding complete relaxation and has helped me in many aspects of my health; digestive, menstrual cycle, back ache, hips, neck and has also been a great positive influence on my mental state. CST also helped me process the experiences of a difficult labour. I was able to gently and safely deal with the after effects of an epidural and the shock I was still carrying.

I decided to do 5 sessions of career coaching with Andrew as I felt stuck in a few aspects of my life. Though ambitious I struggle to know what the next steps are. I didn't know what to expect from the coaching and went in with an open mind. Andrew has a natural intuition and uses his skills as a career coach to enable you to go deep into your desires and help you plan the next steps so you can achieve them. I loved the way he encouraged me not only talk and think about what it was I wanted to achieve but also how to embody them with movement in our sessions.  Some key steps I put into place were giving myself creative days, booking onto a reiki course and further developing my idea to write my family story.

Throughout my sessions I gained more confidence and belief in myself and that I can give myself the time to be creative and start working towards a more creative career and lifestyle. Andrew has a kind and supportive energy and way of working, but also can be firm when needed. He doesn't let you get away with the negative stories that we can tell ourselves or blocks we put in our own way. I really appreciated this approach and always felt that Andrew genuinely believes in me and my dreams and wants me to achieve them as much I do.

I was fortunate enough to have 10 coaching sessions with Andrew. As a recent empty nester I thought it would be the perfect time. I was entering a new chapter of my life, where the mum label was no longer a full-time role. Through the sessions I have managed to connect back to the vitality and carefree nature of my younger self whilst holding intentions to meet the goals I had set for my present and future self. 

Each session helped me to explore my strengths and identify the limiting beliefs that stopped me from seeing and owning them. Through these sessions I have grown as a person, and I am ready to embrace the new chapter of my life with enthusiasm. I would highly recommend coaching- it’s a gentle and effective exploration into personal growth, Andrew is an empathetic and insightful guide to your north star.

I had no experience of co-active coaching (or any type of coaching in fact) until Andrew was recommended to me by a friend. It's not something public sector leaders are usually offered, so it was fantastic to work with someone who made the whole process of getting going really easy and clearly structured. 

Andrew helped me to unearth some of the self-imposed barriers that have been holding me back in my career and gave me the tools to be more sustainable in a turbulent environment. I find myself being a better leader since our time together, and able to embrace change and responsibility with less anxiety, greater integrity and renewed positivity. If you've not tried coaching before, Andrew is a safe pair of hands and I'd recommend you get in touch.

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.

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.

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.

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, curiosity and wonder. I highly recommend Andrew and his Co-Active Coaching for anyone who desires to transform their life for the better.
