About Andrew
Dr. Andrew G. Thomas is a BACP-registered psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. He combines a clear, structured approach with his background as an academic psychologist to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical strategies you can use between meetings.
He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a primary framework. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying small, concrete experiments to change them. The emphasis is on skills that help with panic attacks, low confidence, work stress and problems adjusting to life changes.
His way of working is direct and collaborative. Sessions are organised around goals so each meeting has a clear focus. You can expect simple explanations of what keeps a problem going and step-by-step exercises to try outside sessions.
Andrew also draws on more than a decade of research and teaching in psychology. That background shapes how he explains ideas and chooses techniques, keeping them evidence-based and practical. He aims to make the reasons behind interventions easy to understand.
People who come for help with anger, sleeping problems, eating concerns, loneliness or career uncertainty will find a pragmatic, skills-based approach. The work is aimed at building longer-term self-management and resilience rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
CBT-based approaches for online sessions
He primarily works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT involves spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and testing small changes to those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression and stress, and for practical issues like sleep and work-related strain.His practice brings an academic lens to everyday problems. That means explanations are clear and techniques are evidence-informed. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review what fits the client’s goals and preferences and adjust as they go.
The practical benefit of remote work is being able to fit sessions into a busy week and to apply strategies straight away in day-to-day settings. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter check-ins, regular goal review, and practising new skills between meetings.
