About Ellie

Ellie Byrne is a BACP counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and major life changes. She works with depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and common issues such as sleep, eating and self-esteem. Ellie aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and gentle for anyone who is unsure where to begin.

Ellie brings five years of practical experience to her work. She uses a person-centred style that lets the client guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Background and approach

That approach is combined with techniques from cognitive behavioural and existential ways of working to suit different problems and preferences. Sessions are conversational and focused on what is useful now. Practical tools are offered for managing anxiety, changing unhelpful habits, and coping with difficult emotions after trauma or loss.

She also supports people dealing with addiction, caregiver stress and burnout, and identity or relationship questions. Ellie has additional experience supporting people facing neurodiversity, attachment or personality-related concerns, and issues arising from family breakdown or first responder roles. Her background includes work with substance use and domestic violence related difficulties alongside more common life stressors.

Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to help pair you with a suitable therapist and schedule sessions that fit your needs and availability.

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

Approaches that guide online therapy

Client-centred work puts the person at the heart of sessions, with the therapist following your concerns and priorities while offering empathy and clear reflection. This style helps when someone needs to process difficult feelings or decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It offers simple exercises for anxiety, mood changes, sleep and breaking patterns linked to addiction or low mood.

Existential ideas are also used to look at meaning, life choices and how people respond to big changes. This can help when someone feels stuck, faces loss, or needs to rethink priorities after a major life event.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your preferences, and adjust the focus as you go. That way the work remains relevant and responsive to what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you see body language and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to use video. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, reflective notes or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
