Andrew Boorman

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and eating concerns. He supports people dealing with career difficulties, relationship worries and the challenges that come with big life changes. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through.

Andrew holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience as a therapist. Those details inform how he approaches sessions, without defining what a person will need to work on.

In sessions he uses straightforward, practical methods. He listens first, then helps people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour. He draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise each person’s concerns, and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify helpful changes.

Andrew also uses psychodynamic ways of looking at past experiences that may still affect daily life. Solution-focused tools are used where small, concrete steps will make a difference. He combines these approaches to match what each person wants to achieve.

People who come to Andrew can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. He encourages clear goals and small experiments between sessions. He also supports people with identity questions, body image and grief, and practical issues such as sleep and coping with overwhelm.

How Andrew's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours shape mood and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic work pays attention to how earlier experiences can still affect daily life and may help when repeating patterns cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those needs. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar place or who need flexible timing. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography, and the therapist will explain what is currently offered and how to arrange sessions.
