Andrew Thomas
MBACP (Accred)
Online Couple Counselling Specialist
​
I have successfully passed the rigorous vetting process of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold their Accredited status, a recognition awarded to counsellors with extensive training, experience, and demonstrated excellence.
​
You only pay for the first session if you choose to continue working with me. I believe this is the best way for potential clients to assess, with confidence, whether my counselling services are a good fit for them. After every session I provide a summary and my reflections for each partner. This ensures continuity and helps you make the most of the time between sessions for your own reflections and practice. Sessions are 90 minutes long instead of the normal 50 minutes. I find the extended session length allows for deeper engagement and more meaningful results. It also keeps overall costs to a minimum in terms of number of sessions required to acheive your outcomes.
My clients and I collaborate to address a wide range of issues, including trust, intimacy, infidelity, conflict (both heated and withdrawn), parenting, and challenges with extended families, among others.
Working with couples ethically and effectively demands specialised training and experience, distinct from individual therapy. With a postgraduate qualification (MA) in Relationship Therapy and over fifteen years of experience, couples find my approach engaging, practical, and effective (see below).

"We had attended couple counselling before, our experience with Andrew was different, we feel so much more confident and optimistic about our future together! We both felt at ease with him and gained new relationship skills and self-awareness. His commitment to making us experts in our relationship has empowered us to resolve issues independently. The value we received in terms of improvements in our relationship, as well as in our wider personal and professional lives, is beyound our expectations.Thank you."

Working online allows for more convenient scheduling, particularly for clients with demanding lives that may span multiple countries and cultures. Maintaining regular sessions early in the process helps build a strong rapport, which is essential for achieving your goals.​​
