Andrew Ellis MA , BACP

Andrew Ellis MA is a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor with eight years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He approaches therapeutic work with the belief that people can take positive steps in their lives and careers, while acknowledging that change often requires support and practical guidance.

Andrew offers a calm, considered space for people navigating fears, worries and complex life situations. He works with a wide range of concerns including trauma processing, anxiety management, low self-esteem, anger difficulties and recovery from addiction, while paying attention to the whole person beyond diagnostic labels. His practice also encompasses relationship and family issues, grief, parenting and occupational challenges, and he is experienced supporting LGBT clients and those dealing with intimacy-related problems and compassion fatigue.

Drawing on evidence-informed approaches, Andrew tailors his work to individual needs, whether the aim is understanding what is happening internally, making immediate changes, or sustaining longer-term progress. In clinical and supervisory roles he prioritizes collaboration, empathy and practical tools to help people move forward from current difficulties and towards their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Andrew Ellis

Andrew integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work, each offering different ways to address emotional and practical challenges. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for the individual, creating a supportive environment to explore identity, relationships and self-esteem. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing skills to change thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques and pacing so that the work feels practical and personally relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls or phone, and shorter exchanges can be handled through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from a distance while still working with an experienced therapist.
