About Andrew

BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional practice. Andrew Buurman works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges and career concerns. He also supports people who have struggled with addiction. Andrew writes simply about helping people begin difficult conversations and handle practical day-to-day challenges.

Andrew uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own experience. Sessions are used to talk through feelings, understand patterns and decide on small steps forward. He aims to listen without judgement and to help people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.

People who contact him often want help with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems or struggles around fatherhood and men's issues. He also works with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and with people examining life purpose or midlife transition.

In sessions Andrew tends to take a steady, conversational style. He encourages direct discussion of what is worrying someone now and what they want from therapy. Work can include exploring relationships, increasing self-awareness and practising different ways of coping.

Andrew is based in the UK and works in English. He accepts international clients. To begin he asks people to use the online matching process and then book a first appointment through the service.

How client-centred practice translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist offers attentive listening and encourages the client to describe what matters most. This approach tends to help people working through anxiety, grief, relationship patterns and questions about life direction.

Working out which approach suits someone is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals and what feels most useful. They then decide together on how to structure sessions and what to try between meetings.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, parenting and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people keep therapy practical within everyday life.
