Andrew Boorman, BACP

Andrew Boorman is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with five years of professional experience. He holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strains, including issues related to LGBT identity and career challenges.

He helps people facing life changes, grief, addictions and difficulties with sleep or eating. He also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, bipolar mood concerns and ADHD. His practice addresses practical problems such as money worries, communication difficulties and feeling isolated.

Andrew uses a mix of straightforward therapeutic approaches. He draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns of behaviour.

When people first meet him, sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate concerns and simple steps that can ease pressure at home and work. Later work can look at long-standing patterns, attachment or past experiences that affect current relationships and daily functioning.

He describes sessions as collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect practical conversation alongside exploration of feelings. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life and address family or parenting stresses as they arise.
