About Andrew

Dr. Andrew G. Thomas works on stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related difficulties using a structured, goal-focused form of counselling. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and explains the thinking behind the methods. He is registered with the BACP and has four years of professional clinical experience.

He takes a practical, step-by-step approach in sessions. He looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be keeping problems going. Together with the client he introduces strategies to manage symptoms and build longer-term coping skills.

His clinical style is straightforward and collaborative. He explains psychological ideas in plain terms and links them to real-life tasks clients can try between sessions. This includes work on low confidence, work-related stress, panic attacks, sleep and eating difficulties, and problems with anger or self-esteem.

He also draws on over a decade of experience in psychological research and teaching. That background informs the explanations and the choice of techniques used in sessions. Clients can expect a clear rationale for suggested exercises and an emphasis on measurable progress.

Sessions cover issues such as emptiness, loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, social anxiety, phobias, sex addiction, mood disorders, and challenges facing young adults.

How CBT is used in online counselling

Dr Thomas primarily works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing them with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and phobias and for building skills like improved sleep and stress management.

His approach emphasises clear, evidence-based techniques and simple tasks to practise between sessions. He will explain why a technique is recommended and how to try it in everyday life. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also make it straightforward to continue work when clients are in different locations, including outside the UK. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt CBT exercises for remote sessions, using brief check-ins, activity planning, and structured homework to support practical changes.
