About Andrew

Andrew Medlow is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing alongside common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He approaches therapy with the view that people are the experts on their own lives and brings a supportive, practical attitude to sessions.

He uses a mix of methods to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. These methods are used to help with mood, confidence, and recurring patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Conversations are centred on what the client wants to change and on building small, workable steps.

Andrew often works with issues linked to identity and belonging, including LGBT concerns and self-esteem challenges. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma, and life transitions like career change or separation. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are part of the work.

He pays attention to attachment and family patterns, helping clients understand how early relationships affect current behaviour and feelings. Sessions can include exploring communication problems, codependency, or fatherhood-related pressures. The aim is to increase awareness and develop healthier ways of relating.

Andrew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He asks people to take a small first step when they are ready, and he works collaboratively on goals and priorities during therapy.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with panic, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns that affect trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and personal style. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else would work better.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday change.
