About Andrew
Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic-related problems. He supports people working through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. Andrew draws on three years of professional counselling experience and brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions.
He aims to make the therapy space open and non-judgemental so people can talk about what’s on their mind. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Andrew pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships.
His background includes a BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That underpins his client-centred way of working and commitment to ongoing professional practice.
Andrew uses Client-Centred Therapy to support people to find their own solutions. He also draws on his experience supporting people with addiction and recovery-related issues. Andrew welcomes people who are facing loneliness, midlife questions, fatherhood challenges, guilt or shame, and other life transitions.
People who choose to work with him can expect a patient listener who asks practical questions and helps break down larger problems into manageable steps. He encourages small, achievable changes and regular review of progress. Taking the first step is acknowledged as an important move toward feeling better.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and helping people lead the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, asks questions to clarify feelings, and supports the person to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, panic-related worries and issues linked to loss or addiction.Andrew's way of working is collaborative; he will help you test different approaches and decide what fits best. Finding the right method is something to explore together, so sessions may change focus as needs and goals become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as fitting a session into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when energy or attention is limited, or help people attend when getting out of the house is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online formats to increase flexibility, and Andrew can discuss what will work best for your situation during the initial arrangements.
