About Andrew

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience, Andrew Boorman helps people with stress, anxiety, low mood, LGBT issues and career difficulties. He also supports people facing life changes, grief, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Andrew uses familiar therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions.

Andrew keeps sessions straightforward and direct. He listens to what matters to each person and works from their goals. Conversations look at current problems, how they affect daily life, and practical steps people can try between sessions.

He uses CBT to identify thinking patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and to test small behaviour changes. His Client-Centred approach focuses on letting people lead the topics they want to explore. Psychodynamic ideas are used when it helps to understand recurring patterns and deeper emotional responses.

Andrew has a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That background informs how he balances talking through present difficulties with looking at longer-standing patterns.

People often come for help with sleep, eating, anger, ADHD-related concerns, or stress from work and money problems. He also supports issues such as attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, dissociation and shame. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about choices are typical outcomes of his work.

To begin, people choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is kept simple so the focus stays on the issues the client brings.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own priorities and what they choose to talk about. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them clarify decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That choice can shift over time as needs change and new issues appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel commitments and can reduce time spent commuting. They can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when simpler contact is helpful, while preserving the same therapeutic approaches a registered or accredited professional would use in person.
