About Andrew

Andrew Boorman works with stress, anxiety, low mood, LGBTQ issues, career difficulties and many other everyday challenges. He uses a client-focused way of working and asks practical questions to help people make sense of their situation. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' professional experience.

Andrew draws on several approaches to fit each person's aims. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and help people reflect on their feelings. He employs Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for people who want clear steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward. Andrew will help you set goals and check progress as you go. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar and depression, and with concerns around ADHD, attachment, autism and body image.

He also supports people with problems about money, work and life purpose, and with feelings of isolation, guilt or shame. Andrew describes practical tools alongside longer-term reflection, depending on what the person wants to work on.

He offers his counselling from the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English. To begin, you are asked to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking route.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person understand their own feelings and choices; it is useful for people wanting to talk through identity, relationship or life-change issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to change patterns that cause distress; it helps with anxiety, low mood and some behavioural concerns. Psychodynamic ideas consider recurring patterns from past experience and how they show up now, which can help with long-standing relationship or self-worth issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss aims, try methods in session and jointly decide what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as goals become clearer.

Confirm the session formats Andrew offers before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Think about practicalities such as quieter surroundings, device choice and session length when you arrange sessions so they fit into everyday life.
