About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a counsellor who draws on person-centred listening alongside practical psychological approaches. He works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those struggling with relationships, motivation and addiction-related concerns. Andrew holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
Andrew starts by listening and learning each person’s story. He treats the client as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on small, useful steps that fit into everyday life rather than long lectures about theory.
He uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally-focused work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships affect present feelings and choices.
Andrew aims for a warm, non-judgemental tone in sessions. He helps people set clear, achievable goals and practises skills together in session. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change if something isn’t working.
People often come to him for issues such as codependency, abandonment or family of origin problems, body image concerns, or difficulties with communication and commitment. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, ADHD and work-related strain.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Andrew uses acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based thinking alongside client-centred conversation. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and help when past hurts affect present connections. This work can help with codependency, abandonment concerns and struggles with trust. Client-centred therapy prioritises being heard and respected while the person decides the pace and focus of change.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needed. Clients and the therapist will review how techniques feel and make changes together if something isn’t helpful.
Please confirm the therapist’s available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel. It also lets people choose whether to use video or another approach where offered, depending on what suits their situation and energy levels.
