About Andrew

Dr. Andrew G. Thomas uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people find practical ways to feel better.

He works in the United Kingdom and brings four years of clinical experience alongside a background in academic psychology. Sessions are clear and goal-focused to help people tackle what matters now. His approach starts by spotting unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep problems going.

He and the client set manageable goals and try new ways of thinking and acting.

Background and approach

Sessions include simple exercises to practise between meetings so that small changes add up. Dr Thomas keeps explanations plain and evidence-based. His academic experience as an Associate Professor informs how he explains why certain methods can help.

He aims to make techniques easy to understand and use in daily life. He commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression and panic attacks. He also supports people facing low confidence, work-related stress, problems with intimacy, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes.

Other areas he focuses on include isolation and loneliness, a sense of emptiness, finding life purpose, men’s issues, mood disorders, phobias, social anxiety, young adult concerns, self-love and sex addiction. Sessions combine a straightforward style with practical tools to build longer term resilience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How CBT and online work fit together

CBT focuses on recognising the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. In practice this means setting clear goals, using short exercises in sessions and trying practical tasks between meetings to build useful habits. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and problems like low confidence and work stress.

When used online these same CBT methods can be just as direct. Dr Thomas brings an evidence-informed, structured style to video, phone or text sessions, explaining why techniques should help and working with the client to choose the best methods for their situation. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative and tailored to the person's goals and preferences rather than fixed in advance.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or who travel. Video calls work well when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief problem-solving or for people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
