Andrew Merz, BACP

Andrew Merz is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults who are under stress, feeling low, facing grief, or struggling with parenting and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with anxiety, addiction, trauma, and issues around intimacy and identity.

Andrew uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to shape sessions. That means some weeks the focus is on practical steps and thought patterns, and other weeks it may be on how relationships or past attachments affect current stress.

Sessions are organised around what the client wants to change. He talks through coping strategies, routines for sleep and eating, ways to manage anger, and practical steps for parenting strain. He also works on longer-standing issues like abandonment, attachment problems, and body image when those come up.

Andrew aims to be direct yet respectful in sessions. He adapts the dialogue and plan to fit each person’s situation. He uses measurable goals when helpful, and skills practice between sessions when it can make a difference.

For people looking for straightforward, practical counselling about family matters, relationships, or personal stressors, Andrew offers an adult-focused approach that mixes practical techniques with relational attention.
