About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem and life changes, and also supports those facing relationship, trauma, grief and intimacy-related difficulties.
Andrew offers straightforward conversations about what is worrying someone now. He listens, asks practical questions, and helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often focus on skills that reduce intense feelings and ways to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour.
His background includes a mix of talking therapies and therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness-based work. This mix lets him use structured tools where helpful, alongside a person-centred way of listening to what matters most to the client.
Andrew also supports people dealing with complex life situations such as adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, codependency, caregiving stress, and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. He pays attention to relationship problems like communication breakdown, infidelity, divorce and separation.
Many sessions include planning practical steps, practicing skills in session, and reviewing what worked afterward. Andrew can talk through coping strategies for sleep, career stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. He encourages clear goals and regular review so progress is visible.
How Andrew uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance and getting unstuck from difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which techniques to try first. That collaborative decision is reviewed as goals change or if a method is not helping.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. They also let the therapist and client use screen-based tools like worksheets and breathing timers during the session to practise new skills in real time.
