Andrew Medlow, BACP

Andrew Medlow is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance and draws on several practical approaches. He uses plain, direct conversation to help people make sense of what feels stuck. He aims to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Andrew has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. He believes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. His role is to listen, reflect and help people use those strengths to move forward.

Sessions often focus on everyday problems such as motivation, confidence and managing low mood. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction and major life changes. Andrew pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape current patterns and feelings.

In practice he mixes gentle exploration with practical tools from approaches like cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, depending on what the person needs. He aims to keep the work down to earth and relevant to daily life.

People can expect a calm, accepting presence that encourages clear goals and small, doable steps. Andrew invites people to bring what matters most to them and to work at a pace that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Andrew often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour, and it can be useful for communication, trust and relationship-related worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can combine listening, practical exercises and small behavioural steps so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
