About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. He meets people where they are and helps them take small, steady steps forward. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to the person in front of him. Andrew aims to make sessions feel like a clear space to think and decide what comes next.
He draws on eight years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. That background shapes a gentle, person-centred way of working. Sessions are aimed at helping people understand their patterns and try workable changes in day-to-day life. Techniques include exploring thoughts, noticing unhelpful habits, and practising new responses.
Andrew works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and trauma. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, parenting strain and career pressures. Codependency, abandonment and communication problems are listed among his additional focus areas.
His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness within a client-centred frame. That means sessions balance practical strategies with time to reflect on values and personal goals. People who prefer a direct, collaborative process tend to find this style helpful.
Andrew is based in the United Kingdom and holds a BACP accreditation. He offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to shape the first session and schedule subsequent appointments.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for people feeling stuck in old habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical changes in behaviour. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which supports emotional regulation and stress management.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different techniques and adapt methods to suit your needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels useful for you.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer journeys to attend appointments. Online work can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins around work or caring responsibilities, or to use techniques at home between sessions. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so check current options when you arrange your first appointment.
