Andrew Boorman, BACP

Andrew Boorman is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges. He holds a BSc in Psychology, an undergraduate degree in psychological science, and an MSc in Counselling, a postgraduate qualification in therapeutic practice. He is also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Andrew works with issues such as stress, anxiety and panic, low mood and depression, relationship and family concerns, and challenges related to sexuality and LGBT matters. He also helps people coping with career difficulties, major life changes, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and difficulties with self-esteem, sleep, eating and intimacy. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment and communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and other complex emotional concerns.

His practice emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored. He adopts established therapeutic approaches and collaborates with clients to find what suits their needs. He acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and recognizes starting that process as an important step toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrew integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to support people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and explores feelings and values; this approach helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours and uses practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, panic, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals, try different methods, and adapt the approach to fit individual needs and preferences, so the process feels tailored rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available via live chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, while allowing registered professionals to provide consistent support across locations. For many people, the variety of online formats makes it simpler to engage with therapy and maintain momentum between sessions.
