Andrew Ellis is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma.

About Andrew

Andrew Ellis is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. He writes plainly and listens closely. He aims to give a steady, practical space where people can talk through fears, urges and life changes without feeling rushed.

He uses a mix of mainstream approaches to suit the person in front of him. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practising mindfulness skills, or exploring values and choices to guide action.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what someone wants to achieve rather than fitting everyone to one method. Andrew has eight years of practice and is registered with the BACP, which he holds as a professional credential. His background includes work with grief, relationship issues, sleep problems, and a range of mood and behavioural concerns.

He supports people dealing with shame, guilt, control issues, dissociation and recovery from domestic or substance-related harm. Appointments can include short-term problem-focused work or longer-term support. He welcomes conversations about parenting stress, career strain, identity questions and intimacy-related concerns.

The emphasis is on practical steps, clearer thinking and building skills to manage day-to-day difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by various formats. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step matches preferences to suitable times and formats.

Ways of working Andrew names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, avoidance and when someone wants clearer direction for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises and change plans that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and reactivity. These exercises can be used between sessions to manage urges, anger and cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where feedback shapes each step.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
