About Andrew
Andrew Merz is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who draws on Jungian ideas alongside other approaches. He has five years of professional experience and works with people struggling with depression, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges. He aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Andrew keeps sessions focused on the individual. He listens to what matters most and adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or using storytelling and imagery inspired by Jungian therapy. He uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people clarify values and take small steps towards them.
Client-centred ideas shape a supportive, non-judgemental space for talking. Andrew has supported people facing stress, grief, relationship strain, addiction and identity questions, among other concerns. He also works with issues such as body image, parenting stress, chronic illness and workplace burnout.
Sessions are offered in English in the UK. Taking the first step often feels hard. Andrew focuses on clear, manageable goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
He helps people find practical ways to cope and build a more sustainable sense of wellbeing.

Online support
How Jungian ideas and practical therapies translate online
Jungian-informed work often uses images, dreams and personal stories to uncover patterns that affect daily life; online sessions can still follow that reflective path by talking through memories and meanings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small, workable steps; it helps people manage difficult thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. Client-centred therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental listening style that supports people to find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to understand needs, try different techniques and agree what feels helpful. That means adapting methods over time so sessions stay relevant to the person’s goals and preferences.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and check in between sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility and accessibility while maintaining a focused therapeutic process.
