About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with confidence and motivation. He also works with those facing relationship strain, addictive behaviours, grief and other painful life changes.
He describes the client as the expert on their own story and aims to build on individual strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside exploring feelings and relational patterns that cause recurring problems. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.
Andrew draws on several well-known approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He weaves these methods together to address thoughts, emotions and the ways people relate to others and to themselves. This mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Typical topics he works through include abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, codependency and family of origin concerns. He also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, dissociation and the emotional effects of divorce or separation.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire then arrange a first appointment to talk about goals and next steps.
How his approaches sit with online working
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and changing emotional responses and interaction patterns. It can help people who struggle to name feelings or who notice repeating relational behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, often used for anxiety, stress and motivation problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore the client's needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. That collaborative choice guides how sessions proceed and which exercises or reflections are introduced between meetings.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Many people find remote work easier to fit around work or family commitments, or useful when a shorter check-in is needed. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes and allow practical, real-time skill practice that fits into everyday routines.
