About Andrew
BACP member. BSc in Psychology and MSc in Counselling. Five years of professional experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. Andrew Boorman works with people facing stress, anxiety, panic, low mood and a range of other concerns. He also helps with LGBT issues, career difficulties and coping with life changes.
Andrew uses straightforward talking-based work. He listens to what matters to each person and helps them notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. He uses Client-Centred techniques to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experience affects current feelings.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Andrew can work on short-term goals or on longer issues such as grief, trauma, addiction and relationship strain. He also has experience with ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar and depression, and with concerns such as attachment, body image and hoarding.
Andrew accepts international clients and offers counselling in English. He describes sessions as collaborative and prefers to agree on goals and methods with each person. He also incorporates solution-focused strategies when people want brief, goal-directed work.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. To start, clients select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Andrew commonly draws on Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in session. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them identify and name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to agree which methods to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription, and approaches can be adjusted as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and to use shorter check-ins when life is busy.
