About Andrew
Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem and career concerns. He has particular experience supporting people facing addiction and the emotional fallout from loss and life change. Andrew writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who may be nervous about asking for help.
He uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's perspective at the heart of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and working at the client’s pace rather than imposing solutions. Sessions are framed around what the client wants to change or understand better. Andrew encourages honesty about difficult feelings and keeps conversations straightforward.
Over three years of professional counselling experience have given him practical exposure to a wide range of issues. He draws on that experience to help people untangle patterns like avoidance, control problems, or repeated relationship strains. He also supports those dealing with fatherhood-related stress, midlife questions, or persistent feelings of emptiness.
People who come to him can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and a focus on clear steps forward. He works alongside people to identify small, achievable goals and to notice changes over time. That approach suits those who want respectful listening plus practical sense-making.
Andrew offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, issues arising from trauma, and addiction by giving the person space to make sense of their feelings at their own pace.Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the way sessions run based on the client’s needs. That collaboration helps tailor the work whether the focus is on self-esteem, midlife questions or relationship patterns.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit around work and family commitments, and it can make short check-ins or more frequent sessions simpler to manage. If you need sessions that suit quieter moments, less screen time or brief practical check-ins, discuss these preferences when arranging appointments so the format matches everyday life and goals.
