About Ellie
Ellie Byrne is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and major life changes. She works with clients facing trauma, depression and relationship or intimacy difficulties. She uses a straightforward, non-judgemental style and centres conversations on what matters most to each person.
Ellie draws on five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which appears after the credential as British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She combines several therapeutic ideas so sessions can be tailored to the individual rather than following a single fixed method.
How Ellie works
The aim is to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life. In sessions she listens for each person’s priorities and helps them set manageable steps. Techniques may include exploring thoughts and behaviours, practising mindfulness, and using motivational conversations to boost change.
Ellie keeps language simple and focuses on what can be tried between meetings. She has worked with people affected by addictions and substance use, domestic violence, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting pressures, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger Syndrome, attachment and personality issues, and first responder concerns.
Ellie offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients. Therapy is available via several online formats so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort level.

Online support options
How Ellie’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps build a plan that fits their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ellie will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit the issue and the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face connection when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to arrange during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflections between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can choose what works best for them.
