About Andrew

Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people facing a turning point in life. He listens without judgement and helps clients work out what matters to them. Conversations focus on small, manageable steps and clearer ways to cope with stress or change.

Andrew has eight years of experience working with a wide range of difficulties. He helps people with anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, addiction and the effects of trauma. He also supports those coping with grief, career strain, parenting pressures and relationship concerns including intimacy and communication problems.

His approach is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions look at thoughts, patterns and behaviours that get in the way, and then test practical alternatives. Techniques include elements from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness practices to help with emotion regulation and everyday problem solving.

Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which he lists as BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and runs therapy in English. He does not accept international clients at this time.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction during a midlife change or when dealing with anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours in everyday life, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and help with addictive behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening to help people feel understood and find their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on a plan together based on the person's goals, needs and what feels most useful. That may mean mixing techniques from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep continuity of support when life is busy, and the therapist will help arrange a pattern of meetings that fits into everyday life.
