Calm, practical support for everyday challenges
About Andrew
Andrew Boorman helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. He also supports those facing career uncertainty, grief, addictions and life changes. He works with clients on issues linked to identity, self-esteem and intimacy.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Andrew keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He aims to build an open atmosphere where people can speak without judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, manageable steps that can ease day-to-day life. His background includes a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling, and he has five years of experience as a therapist. That time has included working with people on trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and problems around eating and sleeping.
Andrew draws on several approaches to suit different concerns. He uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s pace, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. He adapts these to the goals people bring to sessions.
Sessions are offered online or by phone so people can fit therapy around work and caring responsibilities. International clients may connect in English. To start, a short questionnaire matches people to a therapist and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Sessions & fees
Approaches online that focus on practical change
Client-centred therapy lets conversations follow the person’s pace. In this style the counsellor listens closely and helps the client name what matters, which is useful for issues like identity, self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression and sleeping or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needed. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. Video calls are close to face-to-face and let counsellors and clients use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in when time is tight. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, reflective exercises or when someone prefers writing to speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer all these formats to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday life.
