About Andrew
Counsellor and BACP member Andrew Boorman has five years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with stress, anxiety, panic and low mood, plus LGBT concerns and career difficulties. He also supports people coping with life changes and a wide range of other personal struggles. He uses clear, straightforward language in sessions and focuses on what the person brings to the room.
Andrew draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and try practical changes. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider past patterns and Solution-Focused tools to set short-term goals.
Sessions are conversational and goal-aware. He helps clients spot small shifts that can reduce anxiety or lift mood. Work may include talking, trying simple behavioural experiments, or setting bite-sized tasks between sessions.
Andrew has a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling, and he is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He combines those studies with five years of client work to offer practical support for everyday difficulties.
People often come for help with relationships, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, ADHD, and wider issues such as isolation or money worries. He accepts clients from the UK and international clients and works in English.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Andrew commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and following what matters to the client, which helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which suits anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Check which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use a mix of talking and practical tasks between sessions, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
