About Ellie
Ellie Byrne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma. She works with individuals dealing with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, grief, and codependency issues. Ellie uses a person-centred style that aims to make people feel heard and respected from the first session.
Ellie combines her counselling approach with practical psychological ideas from cognitive behavioural and existential thinking. She focuses on what each person needs and follows the client’s lead when setting priorities for work. Sessions typically look at day-to-day coping, unhelpful patterns, and small steps that can make life feel more manageable.
Her background includes five years of experience in therapeutic work and a BACP accreditation, which she keeps central to her practice. That experience underpins support for a wide range of concerns such as addiction, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.
Ellie pays attention to attachment, commitment and control issues, and to the specific pressures faced by caregivers and first responders. She also offers help around family problems, fatherhood issues, and recovery after domestic violence or separation.
People who choose to work with Ellie can expect a non-judgemental space to talk things through, practical tools to try between sessions, and collaborative goal-setting to track progress.
How Ellie’s approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to explore feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Ellie can use practical exercises to spot unhelpful patterns and try different coping techniques, which is helpful for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ellie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This means trying ideas together and adjusting the plan if something does not fit.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or busy days, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and the option to use audio rather than video if that helps someone take part more comfortably.
