About Andrew

Dr. Andrew G. Thomas works from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach. He uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and panic. He also addresses issues such as low confidence, work-related strain and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

His sessions are structured and goal-focused. He helps people spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Together they try practical strategies to reduce symptoms and build everyday skills for coping and resilience.

Andrew's style is straightforward and collaborative. He explains the ideas behind the work in plain language and shows how techniques link to daily life. This practical emphasis aims to give tools people can use between sessions.

In addition to clinical practice, he has over a decade of experience in psychological research and teaching. That academic background informs how he explains problems and chooses strategies to try in therapy.

People bring many concerns to sessions, including relationship or intimacy worries, sleeping and eating problems, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, and issues common in young adulthood. He also works with compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose. For anyone feeling lonely or isolated, he offers ways to understand and gradually change those patterns.

He is based in the United Kingdom, holds BACP as a credential and works in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How CBT can translate to online counselling

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and social phobia because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Andrew also emphasises skill-building that people can apply day to day, such as behavioural experiments and simple routines for sleep or mood. These techniques aim to reduce symptoms while teaching lasting ways to cope and manage stress, low mood and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed. Clients can expect discussions about what feels helpful and what needs changing as part of the process.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also let people use visible worksheets or share exercises during sessions, and it can be adapted to shorter check-ins when time is tight. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking to ensure they fit your needs.
