This work isn’t just what I do, it reflects what I value.
I’m committed to offering reflective, ethical supervision that supports good practice and cares for the person doing the work.
Hi, I’m Andy
Qualified & Registered
I’m a Registered Social Worker and the founder of Pursue Life Inc, providing professional and clinical supervision grounded in reflective practice, ethics and practitioner wellbeing.
With over 25 years expertise, I’ve worked alongside people in complex and demanding roles across the social services sector, as well as broader leadership and professional contexts, both in Aotearoa New Zealand & internationally.
My approach is thoughtful, relational and practical, offering a safe and reflective space to make sense of challenges, strengthen practice and support sustainable professional growth.
Alongside my social work background, I’m a trained PCC-level Professional Coach (ICF), bringing a strong developmental lens to supervision while remaining firmly anchored in social work values.
I work with individuals and organisations who value integrity, reflection and people-centred practice. My wider experience also includes coach training in high-responsibility environments, including Defence settings such as the Navy, which has further shaped my ability to support people working under pressure.
