Andrew Buurman, BACP

Andrew Buurman is a 59-year-old counsellor based in London with three years of professional counselling experience and a wide range of life experience. He has supported people through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges around motivation, self-esteem and confidence, as well as work with addiction.

He works in a compassionate, client-focused way that prioritises an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment. Sessions are aimed at helping individuals explore their experiences, develop coping strategies and build greater self-understanding over time.

Andrew recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and he offers steady support through those early steps, acknowledging the commitment it takes to seek help. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognised professional organisation for counsellors in the UK, and is available to work with clients who are ready to take the next step in their personal journey.

Client-Centered Support Delivered Remotely

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Andrew's practice. This approach emphasizes the client's own experience and aims to create an accepting, empathetic space where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. It is especially helpful for people working through stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns and the emotional impact of trauma.

In-session the therapist acts as a supportive collaborator rather than an authority, helping clients clarify their priorities, explore feelings and identify practical next steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Andrew will listen to each client's needs, goals and preferences and adapt the way he works to suit them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing work, family or distance. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to access regular support without major disruption to daily life. These remote options broaden access for people who live elsewhere or need more adaptable scheduling while maintaining consistent, ongoing contact with licensed professionals and therapists.
