About Andrew
Dr. Andrew G. Thomas offers a straightforward, evidence-informed approach to counselling. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and panic. His manner is practical and collaborative, with clear explanations and tools you can try between sessions.
He focuses on problems that often affect day-to-day life, including confidence, sleep, eating concerns, anger and career pressures. He also works with issues around intimacy, feelings of emptiness or isolation, life purpose and challenges often described as men's issues. Sessions emphasise short-term goals and practical skills to manage symptoms and build resilience.
Sessions follow a structured, goal-focused plan. The therapist and client identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practise different ways of responding. Techniques are taught in plain language and are designed for use in everyday situations.
Andrew combines clinical work with more than a decade in psychological research and teaching. That background informs how he explains the reasons behind difficulties, and why particular strategies are offered. It also shapes a pragmatic style that values measurable progress.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional psychotherapy experience in the United Kingdom. International clients are accepted and sessions are delivered in English.
How CBT translates to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then practising alternative ways of thinking and acting. In simple terms, it helps people notice patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood, and teaches step-by-step strategies to change them, which can reduce panic, phobias and social anxiety over time.Alongside CBT, sessions often include practical skill-building such as sleep routines, behavioural experiments for fear and exposure tasks for phobias. These exercises are concrete and task-based, helping people apply what they learn between sessions to daily life and work situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and agree a plan together. If an element of CBT seems less helpful, he will adapt methods and try alternatives within a practical framework until you find what works.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them, and make it simpler to practise real-world tasks between sessions.
