Andrew Thomas

British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited Status: This is awarded, after a rigorous vetting process, to counsellors with extensive training, depth of experience, and dedication to maintaining the highest standards of professional practice.

My aim: To help you Reconnect, Heal and Overcome your relationship issues. I work exclusively with couples, helping you build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. One that can weather life’s inevitable ups and downs without needing to return to counselling.

Finding the Right Fit for You: Research consistently shows that a strong connection between you and your counsellor is one of the most important factors for meaningful progress. That’s why I offer a full first session at no upfront cost—you’ll only pay if you decide I’m the right fit for you.

Example of what clients say about working with me: "We’d been to couples counselling before, but our experience with Andrew was refreshingly positive and genuinely practical. From the start, we felt at ease with him, and we’ve gained invaluable relationship skills and self-awareness. His dedication to helping us become experts in our own relationship has given us the confidence to navigate challenges independently. The improvements we’ve seen—not just in our relationship, but  also in our work lives—have exceeded all our expectations. We’re so grateful for his support. Thank you, Andrew."

Deep experience and expertise: Over the years, the concepts and tools I’ve developed have been featured in leading counselling journals and adopted by professionals worldwide, helping thousands of couples. By choosing to work with me, you’ll benefit from an approach rooted in the latest insights into relationship recovery and resilience.

My hourly rate is £140. Each session lasts 90 minutes, followed by at least 30 minutes that I dedicate to summarising our discussion and adding my reflections. To reflect this extended commitment, I charge for two hours per session. This approach enhances continuity between sessions, maximising the value clients gain and supporting them in making the most of the time between meetings. It also reduces the overall number of sessions required to achieve their desired outcomes. Consequently, clients who work with me typically spend less overall while building stronger relationship resilience, which decreases the likelihood of needing couple counselling in the future.

Prospective clients only pay for the first session if they decide to continue working with me. This allows you to ensure, risk-free, that my approach aligns with your needs. Research highlights the importance of a strong client-counselor connection in achieving desired outcomes, which is why I believe in offering a “try-before-you-buy” experience.

Each client has a secure online file containing session summaries, my reflections, and a space for sharing their own thoughts with me. For couples, these files are private and accessible only to the individual client, ensuring that personal reflections remain confidential between us.

By keeping my client list to a maximum of seven couples I can typically meet most scheduling requirements, made easier by working online.
