Andrew Buurman

Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and career questions. He has worked with people struggling with addiction and those feeling isolated or alone. Andrew meets people where they are and focuses on creating a space to talk without judgement.

He brings three years of professional counselling experience and many years of life experience to sessions. Andrew aims to listen closely and reflect what matters to the person in front of him. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s needs rather than following a strict script.

His approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which puts the client’s perspective at the centre of the work. That means Andrew follows a person’s lead, helps them clarify what they want to change and offers steady support along the way. Practical problems such as communication difficulties, control issues and problems linked to attachment are addressed through open conversation and shared planning.

Andrew also focuses on issues that often sit beneath immediate worries, such as guilt, shame, feelings of emptiness and struggles with fatherhood. He works with people to rebuild confidence and find clearer direction in life, including exploring career purpose and midlife transitions.

Taking the first step can feel difficult and Andrew acknowledges the courage that involves. To start, people use the site’s matching process and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How client-centred therapy adapts to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and offering empathetic listening. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment worries, and emotional responses to loss or trauma. The therapist follows the client’s agenda and supports them in finding their own solutions.

That same style transfers well to remote work because it centres on how the person wants to be heard rather than a fixed technique. Andrew will work collaboratively to decide which methods feel most useful, checking in regularly about goals and adapting the pace as needed. Choosing the right fit for approach and practical arrangements is part of the early sessions.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a quieter, less structured way to connect with a therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can support this process and help clients find approaches that match their needs.
