Dr. Andrew G. Thomas, BACP

Dr. Andrew G. Thomas uses a clear, structured style rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). He keeps sessions focused and practical. He explains what is happening, why it matters, and what to try next. The tone is straightforward and collaborative.

Dr Thomas has four years of clinical practice and also works as an academic psychologist. He draws on his research and teaching experience to explain ideas in simple terms. This helps people understand both the reasons for their struggles and the steps that can help.

Sessions follow a goal-focused plan. Together they identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. He then introduces simple strategies to change those patterns and reduce distress.

Practical tools are a central feature. People get exercises to practise between sessions so progress continues outside the room. The aim is to ease symptoms now and build skills for the future.

Dr Thomas commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and panic. He also helps with low confidence, work-related stress, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, mood disorders, phobias, self-love, sex addiction, social anxiety and young adult issues.

He offers a balanced mix of professional evidence and everyday practicality. The approach suits people who want straightforward explanations, clear goals and tools they can use in daily life.

How CBT works online and what to expect

Dr Thomas practises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT breaks big problems into smaller parts, and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic attacks and phobias. The approach often uses short exercises and between-session practice to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. He will discuss your goals and preferences, then tailor CBT techniques to suit your situation. This happens collaboratively, with regular review so methods can be adjusted if needed.

Online therapy here is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into tight schedules and to use brief written exercises between sessions. These options make it simpler to access work on stress, mood and anxiety from different places and at different times.
