Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or big life changes. He speaks plainly and helps clients work out small realistic steps they can use straight away. Andrew aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused, so conversations lead to clear actions you can try between meetings.

Andrew has eight years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship problems and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

He also helps with issues like anger, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns and problems linked to caring for others. He works with people who are dealing with addiction, codependency and the fallout from separation or infidelity. His way of working mixes practical skills and reflective conversation.

Sessions often include noticing patterns, trying new coping strategies and practising breathing or mindfulness exercises. He uses approaches that help shift unhelpful thoughts and build more workable daily routines. Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and he practises in the United Kingdom.

He offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions at times that suit them. Meetings can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, depending on what fits the person’s life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking values-driven actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and persistent struggles where motivation feels low. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted while people make changes at their own pace, which supports self-esteem and confidence building.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and everyday life, then suggest methods to try together. Sessions can adapt over time if something is not helping, so people test what feels most useful in practice.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice, phone sessions can be a low-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets clients reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while still using ACT, CBT or client-centred conversation to address your concerns.
