Andrea Marsh

Andrea Marsh is a multi award winning mental health and high performance speaker who brings deep empathy and practical insight to every audience. Her work is shaped by lived experience, thousands of hours of coaching, and a genuine commitment to helping people understand themselves and the people they care for. Andrea speaks with clarity and compassion, guiding parents, professionals, and organisations through the emotional pressures that shape modern life. Her approach blends mindset, emotional intelligence, and resilience, giving audiences tools they can use straight away.

Andrea spent more than thirty years in the hair and beauty industry, where real conversations often mattered as much as the treatments themselves. Those years taught her how people think, feel, and cope under pressure. In 2018 everything changed when her teenage daughter became critically unwell and spent nearly two years in hospital with severe mental health issues and anorexia. The experience was overwhelming and reshaped Andrea’s understanding of stress, burnout, and emotional strain. When other parents began turning to her for help, she trained formally, earning her diploma in coaching with distinction and completing mental health studies to support her growing work. She later joined Big Business Events as a Business Strategy and Resilience Coach, delivering thousands of hours of coaching and generating more than £2 million in sales conversions.

Andrea has since built Deeper Connections into a trusted coaching and wellbeing practice. She has worked with more than 500 business owners, parents, and families, helping them navigate emotional overwhelm, mindset barriers, and communication challenges. Her work has earned multiple honours, including Most Empowering Female Mindset Coach 2025, Mental Health Coach of the Year 2025, alongside awards for creativity, innovative thinking, and contributions to mental health projects. She has also recently won Business Woman of the Year 2025, Female Diamond Entrepreneur 2026 and was a National Finalist for Business Woman of the Year as well, reflecting her impact in both the wellbeing and business communities. One example of her influence came when supporting a parent whose child was struggling with anxiety. Through Andrea’s guidance, they rebuilt trust, communication, and emotional stability at home, creating lasting change for the whole family.

Speaking is now a central part of Andrea’s mission. Her keynotes explore resilience, mental health, family communication, and high performance. She shares the tools that helped her through the most difficult years of her life, alongside strategies she has refined with clients across the UK. Audiences leave feeling grounded and motivated, with a clearer understanding of how to navigate stress, support others, and strengthen their own wellbeing. Andrea speaks with warmth and conviction, offering hope, perspective, and the reassurance that change is always possible.
