About Andrew
Andrew Merz is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses approachable, person-focused methods to help people make changes in their lives. He holds BACP registration and brings five years of professional experience to his work. He aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk honestly about what is hard for them.
Andrew typically adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. He helps people address depression, anxiety, stress and grief, and supports those facing life changes or struggles with self-esteem. He also works with concerns such as addiction, intimacy-related issues and eating or sleeping problems.
His approach draws on practical therapies that focus on thoughts, feelings and relationships. He will listen and then collaborate on goals that make sense day to day. Sessions are framed around what the person wants to change and what feels manageable.
Andrew has experience supporting people with neurodiversity, attachment issues and complex long-term stress, and has worked with clients dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness and bereavement. He also offers support around career strain, anger and compassion fatigue.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Andrew aims to offer steady support as people find clearer direction. He asks questions, reflects what he hears and helps people try different ways to move forward.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence present patterns and can help when attachment or relationship issues are causing distress. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. That process is collaborative and guided by the person’s goals and preferences.
Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, please confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and tools to suit remote sessions, helping people practise skills between meetings and bring that progress back into later conversations.
