About Andrew Thomas
Andrew Thomas is an integrative counsellor who works with adults to understand and process difficult life experiences.

He holds a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, an undergraduate-level qualification that provided core training across counselling approaches, and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body that sets standards for counselling practice.

He is experienced in supporting people with complex presentations including co-morbidity, codependency, addiction, dissociation, caregiving stress, commitment and intimacy issues, and family of origin concerns. He offers appointments Monday to Friday and aims to respond to messages within 24 hours on weekdays; messages received at weekends are usually answered on Monday.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Andrew Thomas integrates attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people online. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps address difficulties with trust, intimacy and abandonment by creating a corrective therapeutic experience. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and a non-judgemental space to explore goals, values and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is useful for problems such as anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrew will work with each person to understand their needs, preferences and goals, and will draw on different methods as appropriate so that therapy is tailored and practical. That collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access support, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Registered professionals can adapt interventions effectively across these formats to provide consistent therapeutic support.
