About Andrew

Andrew Boorman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks. He also supports those dealing with low mood, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, career difficulties and life changes. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make it easier to take that first step into therapy.

He trained in psychology and counselling and holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and has five years of professional experience as a therapist.

In sessions he creates a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. He works collaboratively, listening first to understand each person’s immediate concerns and daily pressures. Practical steps are taken alongside reflective conversation to help manage symptoms and make choices.

His approach draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns, and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and small experiments between sessions.

People who get in touch can expect straightforward language and a focus on what they want to change. Andrew encourages small, realistic steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers empathy and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits clients who want time to talk and be heard before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural experiments, and learn practical skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allowing appointments without travel and simpler scheduling around work or family. Some people find video useful for face-to-face feeling, while others prefer shorter or audio-only conversations; please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Working online still allows for homework, skill practice and goal-setting between sessions, so progress can continue week to week.
