Andrew Pain is a highly respected motivational speaker, TEDx presenter, and mental health advocate based in the UK. Known for his candid and impactful talks, Andrew focuses on crucial topics such as mental health awareness, burnout prevention, imposter syndrome, and domestic abuse. With a reputation for delivering relatable, thought-provoking presentations, he helps audiences navigate difficult subjects and creates a safe space for open conversations around mental health.

Andrew’s journey to becoming a leading voice in mental health advocacy began from his own lived experiences. Having survived a decade-long abusive marriage, he faced struggles that many men in similar situations silently endure. These personal challenges ignited his passion for helping others, especially men, who often face societal pressures that discourage them from seeking help. Through his early career, Andrew honed his communication and leadership skills, gaining qualifications in coaching and mental health. His authenticity and vulnerability became the foundation of his speaking career, allowing him to relate to his audiences on a deep, personal level.

In recent years, Andrew has garnered significant recognition for his work, with over 140,000 views of his TEDx talk titled Domestic Abuse: Not a Gender Issue, where he sheds light on male victims of abuse—a topic often overlooked in mainstream discussions. He has worked with major organisations such as Amazon, Specsavers, and the Scottish Government, offering workshops and keynote addresses on topics that are vital for creating inclusive, supportive environments in both professional and personal settings. His podcast, Men on Show, further showcases his commitment to exploring modern masculinity and supporting men’s mental health.

As a speaker, Andrew is hired for his ability to engage, inspire, and challenge audiences. His talks are not just about raising awareness but also about providing practical strategies for overcoming mental health struggles. Organisations choose him for his deep knowledge, relatable approach, and unique ability to speak on sensitive issues with both empathy and authority.

“Thank you so much for your burnout talk on Tuesday, it was brilliant and really set the tone for the rest of the conference with loads of engagement and discussion from the attendees.”

Laura, Events Organiser for Women's Network Conference, Magnox Ltd

“Excellent presentation on the subtle art of successful delegation. Really helpful tools and tips, conveyed in an easy to understand and down to earth way, with plenty of great real-life examples”

John, Senior Analyst, Scottish Government

“I recently watched Andrew’s webinar on procrastination through CIMA last week and having watched quite a few webinars through 2020/21, I have to say, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. The subject type is relevant to all, where sometimes other subjects matters can be quite niche and in large parts irrelevant to the individual. Just as important, of course, is the quality of the presenter. He is incredibly skilled in this regard and has a presenting style which draws the viewer/ listener in effortlessly”

Mark, Chief Financial Officer, Spotlight Sportsgroup

“Andrew Pain delivered a fabulous webinar for the APM today on Mastering Presenting and Speaking Skills. Lots of top tips which I will definitely be taking forward to engage my audiences! Check out his profile and TEDx speech”

Vikki, Legal Project Management Coordinator, Pinsent Masons

“I just listened to the recording of webinar delivered by Andrew on How to Delegate Effectively and can honestly say this is one of the best training webinars I have seen in a while. I think the tips were excellent and delivery was concise and definitely touched home on a few points in regard to how I work and managers I have worked with”

Annalisa, Business Analyst, Cargill

“Really enjoyed your session! Think I’ll have to show it to my girlfriend as well, who as a freelance copywriter and writer could use some tips on beating burnout. For me, I have seen plenty of sessions at this point in various conferences about burnout, and workload management … I felt as if you had the balance far better in your session, as after your brief intro you got stuck into it, whilst acknowledging workload pressures.(Personally as well, I loved hearing about the TEST method and how it relates to Prem managers – as a Liverpool fan it made a whole lot of sense!)”
