Dr. Andrew G. Thomas works from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach.

He uses structured, practical methods to help people reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and cope with life changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and exercises that can be tried between meetings. His tone is straightforward and collaborative.

He has four years of clinical experience and also works as an academic psychologist. That background means he often explains the reasoning behind techniques in plain language.

Background and approach

He brings research-informed ideas into everyday strategies people can use at home or at work. In practice, sessions look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. The pair will map out manageable steps and practice skills for handling panic, social fears, sleep problems, or stress.

Work on confidence, relationships and career-related strain is offered in the same practical way. Dr. Thomas favours short-term, goal-focused plans.

Progress is checked and adapted as needed. He encourages people to try techniques between sessions to build lasting coping skills rather than rely on quick fixes. The approach is aimed at helping people gain clearer understanding and usable tools.

People who value a plain explanation of what they are doing and why often find this style helpful. Sessions are offered in English to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Using CBT online to address everyday struggles

Dr Andrew G. Thomas bases his work on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias and low confidence.

This therapist draws on his research background to explain why techniques work and how to use them. He aims to collaborate with each person to find the right mix of exercises and goals. Together they will test out approaches and adapt them to fit the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or when fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different schedules and circumstances while keeping the focus on practical change.
