Andrew Boorman, BACP

Andrew Boorman is a therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and panic. He supports those dealing with LGBT issues, career pressures, addictions and the strain of life changes. He aims to make the first step easier for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.

He works in a straightforward, open way that encourages honest talk. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. He listens without judging and helps people find clearer ways to cope.

Andrew uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of him. He draws on client-centred work to prioritise the client’s experience. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and find practical alternatives.

He combines this with psychodynamic thinking to look at how past patterns might shape present feelings. Solution-focused methods are used to highlight strengths and set achievable goals. Together these approaches aim to balance understanding with practical change.

Andrew holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of practice experience. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you are thinking about starting therapy, he encourages a gentle first step and will help you plan what comes next.

How Andrew’s approaches fit online sessions

Client-centred work places the client’s experience at the heart of every session, focusing on what the person wants to talk about and on being listened to without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and make sense of difficult moments.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It is useful for tackling anxiety, mood problems and unhelpful habits by trying practical experiments and small behaviour changes between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas explore patterns that may come from earlier experiences and how these show up now. This can help people understand recurring emotions or relationship patterns that keep causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods together in a collaborative way.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time and making it easier to maintain regular appointments. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help arrange a plan that fits work, family and other commitments.
