About Andrew
Andrew Boorman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He works with a wide range of concerns including low mood, relationship strain, career questions and issues connected to LGBT identity. Andrew has five years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about what is worrying them.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. Practical steps are used alongside gentle reflection so people can see small shifts over time. Andrew draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person.
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and make manageable changes. Psychodynamic ideas can help people understand patterns that repeat in their life. People come to him for a mix of reasons - panic or ongoing worry, coping with life changes, grief, issues with self-esteem or difficulties with sleep and eating.
He also works with concerns such as addiction, anger, trauma and attachment struggles. Sessions can be done online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging which helps people fit therapy around daily life. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit the client.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrew commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities so they feel heard and respected; it helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical steps to change behaviours and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
