About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers straightforward, calm support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. He writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that are possible to take now. Andrew aims to make therapy feel like a useful conversation rather than a test.
He works with a wide range of concerns such as addiction, mood difficulties, trauma, relationship struggles and parenting strain. He also helps with self-esteem, anger, sleep problems and career stress.
How Andrew works
His approach looks at what is getting in the way and what might be done differently. Andrew combines evidence-based methods with a warm, client-centred stance. That means listening first, then suggesting tools such as mindfulness exercises, thought work or behavioural steps to try between sessions.
He offers coaching-style support when clients want practical plans alongside therapeutic reflection. He has eight years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is a professional counselling association. He is based in the United Kingdom and works with people who prefer English for sessions.
Sessions are tailored to the person and their goals. Andrew encourages clear, manageable tasks and regular review so progress can be seen. He is willing to discuss specific needs and how best to approach them during an initial match and booking process.

Online support options
How Andrew uses different approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods together. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made so the plan fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging works well for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and let people choose the format that feels most practical for them.
