About Andrew
Dr. Andrew G. Thomas offers a practical, structured approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
He works plainly and directly to help people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and develop simple, everyday strategies to feel steadier. He uses short-term, goal-focused work to break down problems into manageable steps.
That means setting clear goals, practising skills between sessions, and measuring progress as therapy goes on.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on tools you can use day to day. Andrew combines clinical practice with an academic background in psychology. His research and teaching over more than a decade shape the explanations he gives.
He aims to show both why difficulties happen and how the techniques he suggests can help. Typical concerns he addresses include panic and phobias, social anxiety, low self-esteem, sleeping and eating issues, anger and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing life changes, work stress, questions about life purpose or feelings of emptiness and isolation.
Sessions are described as straightforward and collaborative. Clients are invited to try practical strategies and to feed back what works. Over time the focus is on building resilience and self-management skills that last beyond therapy.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and on trying out alternative ways of responding. In practice this means setting clear goals, keeping brief records of thoughts and activities, and using targeted exercises between sessions to build new habits.He emphasises practical strategies for anxiety, panic and mood problems. For panic and phobias the work often involves gradual exposure and behavioural experiments. For low mood and social anxiety the focus is on activity planning, thought records and skills to manage worry and self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match your needs, goals and day-to-day life. That choice may change as you progress, and adjustments are made together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with CBT. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include discussion and worksheets. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time or bandwidth is limited. Text, live chat and messaging support ongoing skill practice and brief updates between longer sessions, making it easier to fit therapy around work or study commitments.
