Andrew Medlow

Andrew Medlow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He approaches each person with respect for their own knowledge of their life and believes small steps can lead to meaningful change.

Andrew works from a collaborative stance and invites clients to set the pace. He focuses on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and rebuild confidence. Sessions often look at everyday challenges such as relationship strain, motivation, and coping with life changes.

His practice draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them and take action in line with those values. This can include techniques for spotting unhelpful thought patterns and practising different ways of responding when emotions run high. Work is tailored to the individual rather than following a single fixed method.

Andrew also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and the long-term impact of family problems. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when they come up, and to the practical effects of life transitions such as separation or becoming a parent.

Sessions are conducted in English and are structured around each person’s goals. Andrew invites new clients to take a first step by completing a short questionnaire and arranging a session that fits their schedule.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is useful when anxiety, low mood or avoidance are keeping someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT or another approach fits best for the issue at hand.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as those details are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also allow people to try different ways of working, such as skills practice between sessions, homework tasks, or regular progress reviews to see what is helping.
