About Andrew
Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and career concerns. He has experience helping those struggling with addiction and with low motivation. He speaks English and works with people from different places, including international clients.
Andrew aims to make sessions straightforward and welcoming. He creates space for clients to talk without being judged and focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him. Conversations are guided by the client’s needs and paced to suit their comfort.
He uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the client’s perspective and priorities. That method helps people to understand their own feelings and to find ways forward that feel right to them. It is often used for issues like low self esteem, grief and relationship patterns.
Andrew brings three years of professional counselling experience to his work and draws on his wider life experience when talking through problems. This mix informs practical, down-to-earth conversations about change and coping.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then books according to the therapist’s availability. If you are unsure about formats, check current session options before booking.
How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their pace. It aims to help people feel heard so they can find their own solutions, and it is often used for issues like low self esteem, grief and relationship patterns.In practice this approach means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and supports the client to set goals and priorities. That way the direction of work comes from the client’s needs and the therapist’s role is to be responsive and encouraging.
Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Andrew will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to the client’s goals, preferences and circumstances. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few meetings rather than a fixed promise up front.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who need to manage appointments around their day.
