About Andrew

Andrew Thomas is an integrative counsellor who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people find practical ways forward. He works with adults and addresses issues such as anxiety, stress, addiction, grief and depression. Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings five years of practice experience to his work.

Andrew tailors sessions to each person by combining methods that suit their needs.

Background and approach

He uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and somatic work to notice how the body holds stress. Cognitive work helps people change unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas explore past influences on present behaviour. Sessions involve straightforward conversation and learning skills to manage strong feelings and difficult moments.

Psychoeducation about how the nervous system reacts is often part of the work, with practical coping techniques to reduce overwhelm. Andrew aims to help people build steadier emotional balance over time. He offers short-term and longer-term counselling and follows the BACP code of ethics in his practice.

Andrew does not provide couple sessions, formal court reports, or diagnostic assessments. He works Monday to Friday and is willing to discuss appointment times to fit individual needs. People who choose Andrew can expect a calm, collaborative approach that explains what is happening in the body and mind.

He encourages clear goals and regular review so counselling remains focused and relevant to everyday life.

How attachment, CBT and somatic work translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and explore ways to build more supported ways of relating. This approach is useful when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeating difficult relationship cycles.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. In an online session this often looks like practical exercises, homework and short skills practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Somatic therapy pays attention to how stress appears in the body. Online formats can guide simple body-based techniques and breathing or movement exercises that help reduce nervous system arousal and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then combine methods as needed. This shared planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to each person's life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy routines and to continue work when in-person meetings are difficult.
