Andrew McDowell

Andrew is a psychologist, coach and leadership professional with more than 30 years’ experience. He is a Partner at TPC Leadership and TPC Health, working with individuals, organisations and systems to deliver results through coaching and leadership interventions.

His approach is direct and evidence-based. He designs programmes that use coaching as a method to engage participants in collaborative, experiential learning. He adapts this for boardrooms, clinical teams and global organisations alike.

Andrew’s expertise spans leadership development, leadership consulting, coach development and organisational development. He works with a wide range of private and public sector organisations, including professional services firms, United Nations organisations and NGOs.

He is particularly skilled at working with global organisations and diverse groups. He has direct experience working with Chief Executives, Board Members and Senior Executives, and has delivered programmes and consultancies with leaders from over 100 countries.

Andrew is also pioneering coaching and leadership interventions for health and social care environments. He led the development of health coaching in the UK, including the NHS’s largest health coaching programmes. These programmes combine coaching skills with behaviour change techniques, helping people become more self-managing and enabling practitioners to deliver more personalised care.

Andrew’s original training was in psychology. His PhD focused on conflict resolution. Along with extensive clinical experience, he was a Senior Lecturer in Medical Education, specialising in health psychology and behavioural medicine.

In his academic role, he pioneered problem-based learning techniques and established the first graduate education medical programme in Australia. This now forms the basis of graduate medical education in the UK.

Andrew is also pro-bono Director of WYSE International, an international NGO that identifies and supports emerging leaders around the world, helping them create change in their communities.
