About Andrew
Dr. Andrew G. Thomas offers a structured, practical approach to therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
He presents a clear, goal-focused style aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. The first meeting looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Sessions use straightforward tools you can try between meetings.
He draws on four years of clinical practice alongside a longer career in psychological research and teaching.
Background and approach
That academic background informs how he explains difficulties and the reasoning behind treatment. People can expect explanations of the mechanisms that drive their thoughts and feelings, not just tips to cope. Therapy sessions focus on building skills for the longer term as well as easing symptoms now.
Practical strategies are tailored to everyday life, such as ways to manage panic attacks, improve sleep, or tackle low confidence. The aim is to leave clients better equipped to handle future challenges. His manner is collaborative and direct.
He works with clients to set clear goals and checks progress against them. This makes it easier to see what is helping and what needs adjusting. Dr Thomas works with a range of concerns including relationship intimacy issues, anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue, feelings of emptiness or isolation, life purpose, men’s issues, self-esteem, social anxiety and phobias.
He also supports young adult issues, mood disorders and sex addiction where relevant.

How Andrew works online
The therapist also brings an academic perspective, explaining the reasoning behind techniques so clients understand both why they are used and how to apply them. That explanation helps people feel more confident about using tools in day-to-day life and tracking progress in a practical way.
Finding the right method is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which strategies fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is reviewed. Clients help shape the pace and focus of work so it meets their needs.
Session formats are not detailed in the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and offer quieter surroundings when that helps focus on the session content.
