About Andrew
Andrew Buurman offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and career concerns. He is experienced helping with addiction and related issues. He aims to make starting therapy simple and respectful for anyone taking that first step.
Andrew uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. He listens closely and reflects back what he hears. Sessions are paced to each person, with space to talk through painful memories, current pressures or questions about direction in life.
Background and approach
Clients can expect calm, practical conversations. Andrew helps people name difficult feelings and spot patterns that keep them stuck. He also works on building confidence, clearer communication, and healthier coping where substance use has been a problem.
His style is warm and non-judgemental. He encourages honesty and small steps that add up to change. Work may include looking at attachment and abandonment concerns, dealing with guilt and shame, or exploring purpose and midlife questions.
Andrew has three years of professional counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to his availability and the session formats they prefer.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Andrew uses simple, conversational methods rather than technical steps. Together the client and counsellor will decide what matters most and try practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns. The fit between approach and the person's goals is checked as therapy goes along, so adjustments can be made collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to keep in touch between calls or for people who prefer writing.
These formats increase flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to each format, making meaningful progress without everyone needing the same kind of appointment.
