About Andrew

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and has five years of professional experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, addictions, relationship difficulties and anger.

Andrew helps people who are dealing with big changes in life and with issues that affect how they relate to others. He talks through work and career worries, LGBT related concerns, grief and problems with sleep or appetite. He also supports people facing complex problems such as trauma, dissociation, or struggles with self-esteem and control.

In sessions he uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. That means paying attention to what matters to the client and following their priorities. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns that repeat over time.

He also uses solution-focused steps to set manageable goals and track small changes. Sessions aim to be practical and direct, with tools you can try between meetings. Andrew explains approaches plainly and helps people decide which methods fit their situation.

People can expect a conversational style that keeps to clear goals and short-term options when that suits them. He accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. To begin, he asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How Andrew uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the client and responding to their priorities. It helps when someone wants a space to sort out feelings and make decisions without being directed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful thinking and try different actions. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress and anger-related patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose techniques together. The plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge, so the client has a say in what is tried and kept.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also mean practical materials and exercises can be shared and reviewed between meetings, helping people practise new skills in real situations.
