About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression and related issues. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma, ADHD and major life changes.
Andrew frames therapy around listening first. He treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for practical ways to use existing strengths. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying different ways of responding that fit day-to-day life.
He uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural strategies and acceptance and commitment ideas to help with anxious thinking and motivation. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work is used when relationship patterns or family history are a central concern. Client-centred ways of working keep the conversations grounded in what matters most to the person.
Typical sessions look at concrete problems such as communication issues, commitment or control struggles, and patterns that repeat from family of origin. Andrew will help map out specific steps you can try between sessions and review what works. This makes the process practical and focused.
He works in English and does not accept international clients. If you are considering therapy, Andrew asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see how to proceed.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Andrew combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT involves noticing thought patterns and testing them with small experiments or practical exercises to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can help when coping with life changes or low motivation.He also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are central. That work looks at how early relationship experiences influence current reactions and helps people identify new ways to relate in present-day interactions. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and match the session style to what helps with your goals.
