About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. He focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, motivation and depression. He approaches people with respect and a belief that they know their own story best.
He aims to be a steady support while someone takes the first steps toward change. He uses a mix of practical talking approaches and evidence-informed methods to help people make sense of their feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward - the client’s goals guide what they work on together. Andrew draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and getting clearer on values. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas shape how he looks at close relationships and the patterns that cause hurt.
That can help with issues like commitment worries, communication problems, abandonment concerns and family of origin difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addictions in ways that suit their pace. People can expect to talk through specific problems and try small changes between sessions.
Andrew aims to break complex problems into manageable steps so progress feels realistic. He encourages practical strategies alongside noticing what matters most in life. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.

How Andrew works online
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That means trying things out together and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work breaks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. The aim is to make therapy practical and usable alongside everyday commitments rather than adding extra strain.
