About Andrew
Andrew Merz is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration, which is noted here as the listed credential. He describes his work as grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion for each person he meets.
He aims to tailor conversations and plans to fit what each client needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings. Andrew emphasises small shifts that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable, including sleep and rest patterns when these are causing trouble.
His practice supports people dealing with anxiety, depression and stress. He also helps with grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of other struggles such as addiction and ADHD. He will talk through how current problems link to past experiences and everyday routines.
Andrew draws on several well-known approaches, including acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-informed ideas, and cognitive-behavioural tools. He uses these methods to help clients notice what matters to them and try small experiments that can reduce distress.
When someone chooses to work with him he focuses on collaboration. He listens first, then suggests straightforward strategies and the next steps. The aim is to build coping skills that fit a person's life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
How his approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep-disruption by shifting how someone relates to upsetting thoughts and feelings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that began in earlier life and still influence current relationships. It can help with intimacy issues, relationship stress and problems rooted in early abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He listens to what is most pressing and then suggests ways of working that feel manageable for the individual.
For practical matters, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more focused check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to help people maintain momentum between meetings and to practice new skills in everyday settings.
