About Andrew

Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and career concerns. He also works with clients facing addiction and those looking for more motivation and confidence. Andrew greets people with a straightforward, calm manner that aims to make early conversations easier.

Andrew uses an open, client-centred style. He focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients say, so they can make sense of their feelings. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time spent on what matters now and how to move forward step by step.

With three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Andrew draws on life experience alongside counselling skills. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful events and troubling patterns.

People come to Andrew for help with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication and control problems, feelings of emptiness, fatherhood challenges, guilt and shame, and midlife questions. He also supports those facing loneliness, issues around forgiveness, and dependence patterns.

Andrew encourages small, manageable changes and practical ways to test new behaviours. He welcomes direct questions about how therapy might fit into daily life and what a first session will look like.

Client-centred care and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to understand feelings and build clearer self-confidence.

Andrew pairs calm, attentive listening with practical steps. That means working together to identify small changes that fit into everyday life. The therapist and client discuss goals and try approaches that feel right, adjusting them as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work, family and travel. Online sessions can reduce the need to travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to schedule around a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can support the same kinds of issues online as in person, and Andrew will help you choose an approach based on your needs, goals and preferences.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
