Andrew Medlow, BACP

Andrew Medlow is a counsellor who uses collaborative, person-focused care to help people facing midlife questions and life changes. He works from the view that each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Andrew draws on a mix of practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. He helps people talk through stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles and challenges with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with addiction, grief and the strain of major life transitions.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Andrew offers straightforward, down-to-earth sessions. He listens first, and then helps people try small changes that can make daily life feel easier. Conversations focus on what matters to the person and what they want to change.

He works with issues such as ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue and career worries, and can address deeper themes like abandonment, attachment wounds and family of origin problems. Andrew pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices, and helps people try different responses.

Sessions are conducted in English. Andrew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and works from that professional framework. To start a practical path forward he encourages people to take a single next step and arrange a first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with stress, low mood and living through big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and uses short practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with recurring relationship struggles and feelings of abandonment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative and may combine techniques to suit the person’s needs rather than sticking to a single model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where useful. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy levels, such as phone conversations when bandwidth is limited or video meetings for deeper emotional work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to remote sessions to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.
