About Andrew Thomas
Andrew Thomas is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines several therapeutic models to tailor support to each individual. He holds a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling (FdA), an undergraduate-level counselling qualification, and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), following the organisation's code of ethical practice.
Using an integrative, trauma-informed framework, Andrew draws on attachment theory, psychodynamic ideas, client-centered principles, cognitive-behavioural techniques and somatic-informed methods to address complex presentations. He is familiar with concepts from interpersonal neurobiology, including the Window of Tolerance and Polyvagal Theory, and integrates psychoeducation about how the nervous system responds to stress alongside skills to restore balance and regulation.
Since beginning practice in 2018, Andrew has worked with adults aged 18 and over on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and professional burnout. He offers both short-term and longer-term work and emphasises collaboration to identify goals and the approaches that best suit each person.
Andrew does not provide couples counselling, court reports, or diagnostic assessments. He generally checks messages Monday to Friday and aims to reply within 24 hours, with weekend messages answered on Monday. He is not currently accepting new clients.

Integrative approaches for online trauma and stress support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships. It helps people understand how past attachment experiences shape present feelings and behaviours, and supports the development of more secure ways of relating and regulating emotions.
Client-Centered Therapy (also called person-centered) places the client's experience at the heart of the work and emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, confidence and the space to explore difficult emotions and life choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems by teaching concrete tools for coping and problem solving.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is explored collaboratively. Andrew works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences so that therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining regular, goal-focused support.
