Andrew Merz , BACP

Andrew Merz is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional therapeutic experience to his work. He holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional affiliation with a UK counselling body. Andrew has particular experience supporting people who are dealing with depression and related emotional challenges.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where clients can explore their concerns at a pace that feels right for them. Conversations and treatment plans are shaped around each individual - tailored to meet the client’s unique needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Andrew recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage. He offers steady, practical support throughout that process, helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Andrew draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning simple ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connections, which can be helpful for issues such as intimacy, trust, and relationship distress. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his approach, offering practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to mood and anxiety concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Andrew is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from where they are, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that suit different lifestyles and energy levels.
