About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing issues with addiction, grief, trauma and life changes.
Andrew sees people as the experts in their own stories. He focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. Sessions are geared toward identifying what matters to the client, and building habits and plans that make daily life more manageable.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused ideas inform his work around closeness, trust and relationship patterns. Client-Centred principles guide how he listens and responds.
Typical topics he addresses include codependency, communication problems, control issues, attachment wounds and family of origin concerns. He also works with people dealing with abandonment fears, body image, and the effects of substance issues.
Andrew aims to keep sessions straightforward. Conversations usually cover what is happening now, small experiments to try between sessions, and practical ways to manage strong emotions. If someone wants to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Andrew uses specific therapies and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small steps that fit those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and codependency patterns where actions have become driven by fear rather than choice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers structured ways to test and change unhelpful thinking and responses. It often helps with stress, depression and panic by teaching practical coping strategies and behavioural experiments. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrew will discuss different methods and decide with the client which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as goals and needs evolve. Session formats should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Please check the current session choices when you arrange a meeting. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can be taken between other commitments.Areas of focus
