It was identified that Andrew needed emotional support after his accident, and counselling was suggested. On reflection, he now recognises he was probably suffering from depression. Fifteen years later, he undertook counselling, which transformed his life. Andrew, having now removed his own mask, is self-aware and particularly loves working with children to educate and inspire.
