Andrew Ellis MA

Andrew Ellis MA offers direct, practical support for people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or angry. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps simple and manageable. If someone wants to talk through stress, addiction, relationship strain or grief, Andrew provides a calm and focused space to do that.

He uses clear, evidence-informed approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make everyday life easier. Andrew pays attention to emotional safety and to how problems affect daily routines, sleep and work.

With eight years of experience he has helped people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, and compulsive behaviours linked to substance use. He also supports people facing parenting strain, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and identity matters including LGBT concerns.

Andrew draws on practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. He also uses client-centred listening and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help with intense feelings and interpersonal problems.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Andrew uses therapies online and in sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values and action. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and ongoing struggles where someone wants a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with sleep, anger and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; it offers a steady space for people to make sense of difficult feelings and decide on next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then try methods that suit them. Decisions are made together, and approaches can be mixed to match what is helpful for day-to-day problems.

Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers quieter surroundings and the chance to join from different locations, which can help people keep continuity when life is busy.
