About Andrew

Andrew Buurman works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and career concerns, and he uses a client-centred way of working. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' professional counselling experience. Andrew is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Andrew meets people who are struggling with addiction and motivation, and those feeling overwhelmed by shame, guilt or isolation. He listens to what matters to each person and helps them talk through difficult memories and daily pressures. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps forward.

He often works with issues linked to relationships such as attachment and abandonment, and with patterns like avoidant or dependent personality features. He also supports men dealing with fatherhood concerns, midlife questions and career transitions. Andrew aims to help people regain confidence and clearer direction.

In sessions he follows the client-centred approach, giving space for clients to reflect and make their own choices. The emphasis is on listening, understanding and responding to the person in front of him. This can be useful for people who want to explore feelings at their own pace.

To begin, clients are invited to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How Andrew uses client-centred work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what he hears, which helps people clarify feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for issues such as grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and decisions about work or relationships.

Andrew also applies that same listening style to people dealing with trauma, addiction and attachment difficulties. He focuses on understanding each person's perspective and helping them articulate what they want to change. That means decisions about pacing and topics are made together, and the client influences how sessions proceed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss goals, what has or has not helped before, and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process where the client's needs and preferences guide decisions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling that helps sessions slot into a busy week.
