Andrew Merz, BACP

Andrew Merz is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience who works with people seeking greater well-being and life balance. He has particular experience supporting clients through depression and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Andrew adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect an individual’s circumstances, ensuring therapy is shaped around personal needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

He recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can take considerable courage, and he offers steady, supportive guidance throughout that process. As a BACP member - meaning he holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he follows established professional standards while collaborating with clients to set achievable goals and practical steps forward. Andrew’s practice emphasizes a tailored, empathetic approach designed to meet each client where they are and to help them move toward the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and interpersonal responses. It supports people working through relationship difficulties, grief, or struggles with trust and closeness by exploring relational history and building healthier ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients can discover their own solutions and strengths. This approach is helpful for anyone seeking a respectful, tailored space to process life changes or emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Andrew works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Andrew is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access a registered professional from wherever a client is based within the therapist’s service area.
