About Andrew

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. He supports those dealing with career pressures, grief, addictions, and issues connected to LGBT identity. He has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Clients can expect a calm, unhurried approach that encourages honest talking about difficult feelings. He aims to build a non-judgemental space where small steps and practical changes matter. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can help in everyday life.

Andrew uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred work to follow the person’s lead and on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviours. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that keep repeating and solution-focused tools to set clear, achievable goals.

He has worked with people on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar and eating or sleeping difficulties. He also supports men dealing with issues around identity, purpose, isolation and self-esteem. Andrew describes coaching-style conversations as part of some sessions when practical planning is needed.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person’s concerns and offers empathy so people can explore feelings and make their own choices. This suits issues like low self-esteem, identity questions and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. It uses practical steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines, so it often suits people who want tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as the relationship develops. Decisions about technique are collaborative and made to fit what the client needs at that time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and can reduce time spent getting to appointments. It may also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when a full in-person session is hard to arrange.
