About Andrew

Dr. Andrew G. Thomas is a BACP-registered psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. He combines a clinical role with an academic background as an Associate Professor in psychology. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger.

He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a structured, goal-focused way to tackle problems. Sessions look at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. He introduces practical strategies clients can practise between meetings to manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.

His approach is direct and collaborative. He explains the psychological mechanisms behind difficulties in straightforward terms. Where helpful, he draws on his research and teaching experience to show why particular techniques work.

Typical work involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts in real life, and learning new coping skills. Clients are given exercises to try between sessions so progress carries over into everyday life. The emphasis is on building long-term skills for managing stress, low mood and anger.

He also supports people dealing with issues such as loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, panic attacks, phobias and problems with intimacy or self-worth. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT can be used in online sessions

Dr Andrew G. Thomas uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as his main clinical approach. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, anger and stress because it provides concrete skills to try in daily life.

His second emphasis is on clear explanations drawn from psychological research. He will explain why certain patterns develop and what the evidence says about ways to change them. That explanation is paired with hands-on strategies you can use between sessions to see if they help.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes setting clear, measurable steps and reviewing progress together so methods can be adjusted where needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit them around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and use quieter surroundings when possible. Online work often makes it easier to practise short exercises between meetings and to apply strategies directly to everyday situations.
