💼 About Coach Patrick
Coach Patrick is the professional name of Patrick Andrews — author, transformational practitioner, and NHS advanced practitioner based in Manchester, UK.
Patrick's story begins in adversity. A childhood shaped by instability, trauma, and loss set him on a path that led, by his mid-teens, to the streets and eventually custody. By his twenties, he had cycled through addiction, relapse, and the kind of rock bottom that most people never return from. He did return. And that return became his vocation.
Over the past thirty years, Patrick has worked at the sharpest end of human struggle — across criminal justice, supported housing, substance misuse, and NHS sexual health settings — supporting thousands of individuals through complex behavioural change. He currently works as an advanced practitioner supporting people affected by chemsex-related harm across Manchester's NHS sexual health services. He holds qualifications in health and social care, professional coaching, and youth and community work, and runs ROIPC — Return on Information Personal Coaching — a private practice supporting individuals to make sustained change across all areas of life.
His own recovery journey — through addiction, the loss of his mother, and the twelve-step programme — culminated in completing the Hardmoors 110-mile ultramarathon in sobriety in 2018. That journey is the foundation of the I Surrender series — a trilogy of personal development books beginning with 6-Steps to Change, a values-based framework for sustained transformation grounded in lived experience and thirty years of frontline practice.
Patrick believes that everyone has the answers within themselves. His job — in the clinic, in coaching, and in the virtual world — is to help you find them.
