Andrew Medlow, BACP

Andrew Medlow uses a straightforward, person-focused style to help people tackle everyday struggles. He frames therapy around what matters to each person and builds practical steps for change. Andrew is named up front so people know who they will work with.

He has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted so clients know his professional standing. He works from a strengths-based view and treats the person as the expert in their own life.

Andrew helps people with stress, anxiety and depression in clear, practical sessions. He also supports those facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, motivation problems and addiction concerns. He listens for each person’s goals and uses simple tools from different therapies to meet them.

He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to tailor the process. Sessions focus on real-life skills, noticing patterns, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. The aim is to make change feel achievable, not overwhelming.

People can expect a calm, encouraging style and an emphasis on what they already do well. Andrew helps plan the next steps and reviews progress together. This keeps the work grounded and focused on improvements that matter day to day.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small steps towards those values. It can help with stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with attachment issues, relationship struggles and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss options and together decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face interaction and longer sessions, while phone calls suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, keeping momentum between sessions or fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and continue progress regardless of location.
