Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. He also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles and LGBT concerns. He works with people on career questions and coping with big life changes.

Andrew offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Andrew holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

He has five years of hands-on experience working with a wide range of issues. His background helps him blend different ways of working to suit each person. In sessions Andrew tends to be practical and straightforward.

He listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep problems going. He offers ways to manage symptoms using simple exercises from cognitive behavioural ideas alongside open, client-led conversations. He also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.

Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and build momentum. The mix aims to be flexible so it meets the needs of the person in front of him. Andrew works online with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit them.

Therapeutic approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance, and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who need a steady, listening presence while they make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use eye contact and tone to build rapport, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and routines, and they allow therapists to adapt their methods to what works best for each person.
