About Andrew

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. He supports clients with relationship worries, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns and issues linked to grief and trauma. He also works with people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, ADHD and identity matters related to LGBT topics.

Andrew aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what’s on their mind. He uses a conversational, down-to-earth style. Many clients find it easier to name one small problem first and work from there.

He trained in psychology and completed a Master of Science in Counselling, and he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP. He has five years of professional experience as a therapist.

In sessions Andrew draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person’s own goals and perspectives. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns and practical steps for change. Solution-Focused techniques may be used to set short-term goals and track progress.

People often come to him for help with life direction, work stress, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties with communication or trust. He encourages practical experiments between sessions and checks in on what’s helpful as therapy progresses.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and goals. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. This approach can help with identity issues, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This means the method can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also makes working with a UK-based therapist possible for people living abroad, though scheduling needs checking across time zones. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which communication formats are offered. Many people find online appointments useful for shorter check-ins, practical homework reviews and regular weekly sessions.
