About Andrew
Andrew Thomas is a counsellor who works with adults to make sense of hard moments. He describes an integrative style, drawing on different models to match each person's needs. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he uses that code of ethics to guide his practice.
He trained to a Foundation Degree level in integrative counselling and has practised since 2018, giving him five years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He often supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement and addictions. He also helps with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma and work-related pressures. Andrew uses a trauma-informed approach.
That means sessions include information about how the nervous system responds to stress and practical strategies to reduce dysregulation. He integrates somatic ideas, attachment work and parts-based techniques where these fit the person's goals. Therapy begins with discussing what someone needs and what they hope to achieve.
Sessions are tailored to those aims and may draw on cognitive behavioural tools, psychodynamic thinking about relationships, or person-centred listening. He explains ideas plainly and focuses on skills that can be practised between sessions. He offers appointments Monday to Friday and aims to be flexible about times.
Sessions are available to adults aged 18 and over and are provided in English to people in the United Kingdom. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that suits the client.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Andrew often combines attachment-based thinking with cognitive behavioural tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand and change unhelpful ways of relating. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, abandonment fears and communication problems.Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It involves setting clear goals, trying out new strategies and tracking progress between sessions, which suits worries like anxiety, stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time if something is not working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can be a simpler alternative with lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
