About Andrew
Dr. Andrew G. Thomas offers a practical, goal-focused approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
He uses clear explanations and straightforward techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The first sessions look at what is most urgent and begin simple steps that can be used day to day. He spends sessions identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
Then he introduces easy-to-use tools for changing those patterns.
How Andrew works
This includes strategies for improving sleep, eating habits, confidence and coping with life changes. His manner is collaborative and direct. He explains why certain techniques work and shows how to practise them between meetings.
That combination of scientific background and practical exercises is central to his work. Alongside seeing people, he has more than a decade of experience in psychological research and teaching. He draws on that background to make ideas easy to understand and to share techniques backed by evidence.
Dr Thomas holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as his professional credential. He has four years of clinical experience and works with adults on issues such as anger, self-esteem, career stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
His approach aims to reduce immediate distress and build longer term skills for managing mood, social anxiety, phobias and a clearer sense of life purpose.

Online support options
CBT online and practical therapy options
Dr Thomas primarily uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviours that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and phobias and focuses on skills you can practise between sessions.He combines that structured approach with clear explanations drawn from his research and teaching background. Together the client and therapist review goals and choose techniques that fit the person's needs and daily life. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client test what works and adapt the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short focused exchanges, and messaging lets people write down thoughts and receive ongoing prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities while still practising CBT tools in everyday settings.
