About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA is a counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addictions and issues such as low self-esteem and grief. He also lists support for codependency concerns among his focus areas.
Andrew uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what they are going through. Sessions look at current difficulties and practical steps to reduce distress. He aims to help people notice patterns that keep causing problems and to try alternatives that fit their life.
His work draws on several psychological approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, dialectical skills and mindfulness methods. That means sessions can include values-based goal work, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking, emotion regulation techniques, and simple attention practices to calm the mind.
Andrew describes himself as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor and holds an MA. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He offers help in English for people living in the UK.
People often come to him wanting clearer boundaries, fewer repeated arguments, or a way to step back from other people's crises. He invites an initial conversation to discuss what might help and how to begin.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to the person and taking small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when someone keeps putting others first and wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, options and preferences and then try methods together. That means sessions may blend ACT, CBT and mindfulness techniques depending on progress and what the person finds helpful.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioural tasks in their everyday environment, which can make practice between sessions more manageable.
