Expert Directory: Andrew Waddell

I’m Andrew Waddell, The MidLife Coach. I work with men who reach midlife and realise that, on paper, life looks fine, but internally something feels off. They’re successful, capable, and responsible, yet find themselves feeling stuck or restless, often questioning their direction and sense of purpose.

I created my coaching specifically for men at this stage of life because midlife isn’t a breakdown - it’s a transition. After years in senior, high-pressure professional roles, I chose to step away and redirect my time and energy into work that felt genuinely meaningful and fulfilling.

When old ways of operating and coping stop working, the real question becomes: what actually matters now? I believe you already have the skills, resilience, and experience you need. My role is to provide the structure, challenge, and accountability that help you break old patterns and move forward with intention.

My style is practical, straight-talking, and structured. I work at the level of values, beliefs, identity, and behaviour. This helps men reconnect with what they want their work, relationships, and lives to stand for. This isn’t about quick fixes or motivational hype; it’s about creating clarity, making better decisions, and building a life that feels aligned and self-directed.

Many of the men I work with are carrying a lot on their own. Coaching offers a space to think clearly, speak honestly, and challenge yourself in a way that leads to real change - not just insight, but action and momentum.
