Andrew Boorman, BACP

Andrew Boorman is a UK-based therapist who is credentialed as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He holds a BSc in Psychology, which provides a foundation in psychological theory, and an MSc in Counselling, a postgraduate qualification focused on therapeutic practice, and he has five years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Andrew works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, panic and low mood, as well as LGBTQ+ related concerns, career difficulties and major life transitions. His practice also addresses relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and other concerns such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and communication problems.

Drawing on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic techniques, Andrew adapts his approach to suit each person he works with. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and where practical steps toward change can be considered. Andrew supports both UK and international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Andrew uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach focuses on empathy, listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship and can help with self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to manage symptoms such as anxiety, panic and low mood. In addition, psychodynamic work can be offered to explore how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and difficulties, which can be useful for long-standing emotional issues and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Andrew works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods are the best fit for their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and responsive to change.

Online therapy with Andrew is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family commitments and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in how people communicate and engage with therapy while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the work to individual circumstances.
