About

About Andrew

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, motivation problems and depression. He believes clients are the experts of their own stories and that personal strengths can be used to overcome challenges.

He uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and practical, with a focus on what helps day to day. Andrew often helps people struggling with relationships, grief, addiction and family problems. He also supports those coping with trauma, anger, career change, bipolar symptoms and ADHD challenges.

He listens for patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues and aims to make these easier to understand. Andrew describes himself as collaborative in session. He will help people notice thoughts and behaviours, try new actions, and build routines that feel manageable.

He gives simple tools and reflections rather than lots of jargon. He welcomes enquiries from people across the LGBT community and from others seeking support. Sessions are conducted in English and he works within the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

Online support

How Andrew's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviours to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets relationship and attachment patterns by helping people identify and voice emotions more clearly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss goals and try methods that suit a person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most in session and between meetings.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled between commitments, or video sessions can allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Some people prefer phone conversations when bandwidth or a quieter environment is needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to make attending therapy more practical while keeping the focus on useful change.
