About Andrew
Andrew Medlow uses a blend of practical talking therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. He works from a belief that clients know their story best and already carry strengths they can use. He aims to make first steps feel achievable and calm, not overwhelming.
With three years of professional experience, Andrew focuses on areas such as relationships, self-esteem, motivation and depression. He also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and grief.
How Andrew works
His practice addresses a wide range of life challenges including career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Andrew draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape sessions. He adapts practical tools and reflective conversation to what each person needs that week.
Sessions can include exploring thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns from early relationships, and setting small actions to try between meetings. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and based in the United Kingdom.
Andrew explains therapies in plain language and focuses on what will help a person move forward. People meet him for short-term work around a specific issue or for longer conversations about ongoing problems. He encourages a collaborative pace and checks in regularly about how the work is going.
The aim is steady progress that fits into everyday life.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple experiments and small steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current ways of connecting and can be helpful for trust, communication and relationship worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process, and plans are adjusted as the client notices what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people write through thoughts between meetings and fit therapy around work or family commitments. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and try tools between sessions.
