Andrew Medlow, BACP

Andrew Medlow is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps those dealing with relationship difficulties, motivation struggles and confidence concerns. Andrew approaches therapy with the view that clients are the experts in their own stories and already have strengths to draw on.

In sessions he uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas. This means conversations often focus on everyday thoughts and habits, values, and small changes that make life easier. He aims to keep things straightforward and collaborative, so people understand the work and why it might help.

He has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, addiction and substance concerns, grief, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems and fatherhood issues. These topics often come up alongside anxiety, depression or difficulties managing life changes.

Andrew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English from the UK. International clients are not currently supported. Before booking, clients should confirm the session formats available at the time.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Andrew aims to make the process simple and respectful, helping people identify small, workable steps toward a more manageable life.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression and feeling stuck by teaching practical steps to move forward even when difficult thoughts appear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for stress, low mood, panic and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Attachment-Based ideas concentrate on patterns in close relationships and the way early experiences shape current reactions. This perspective can help when people struggle with abandonment worries, communication problems or repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest an approach or mix of approaches. This is done together so the plan fits personal aims and practical life demands.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the current session arrangements to see how they can best fit into everyday life.
