Andrew Boorman, BACP

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, including jealousy. He also supports those facing life changes, career worries, addiction issues and LGBT questions. He works in English and accepts international clients. Andrew holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has five years of professional experience as a therapist and draws on that time to tailor sessions to each person. In sessions he aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. He uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs, and he explains options plainly so people can choose what feels right. His practice combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thought patterns. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect current life, and on solution-focused work to set short-term goals. Starting therapy can feel hard, and he acknowledges that first step. People are guided through a short matching questionnaire and can schedule sessions according to availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking and their experience. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions; this suits issues like low self-esteem and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques over time. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats were not specified in the source profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without travel time. It can also allow people to continue therapy if they move or travel internationally. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to match approach and timing to each person's needs.
