Andrew Ellis MA, BACP

Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or big life changes. He listens without judgement and helps clients make small, useful steps that add up to real change. Andrew keeps language simple and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone worried and reading on their phone.

He draws on eight years of practice to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Andrew uses approaches that focus on present experience, practical skills and values-based goals. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on what can be done between meetings to help day-to-day life.

Common concerns he works with include depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain and sleep problems. He also supports people facing anger, codependency, control issues, dissociation and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care challenges, abandonment, infidelity and caregiver stress.

Andrew practises using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and mindfulness techniques. These approaches shape practical exercises, values work and skills for handling strong emotions.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and provided from the United Kingdom. If you want to try talking things through, Andrew supports people to identify clear steps and build lasting routines.

Online approaches that focus on values and skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by shifting attention to meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That might mean combining values-focused exercises, mindfulness and practical skill-building to match your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give options that fit a busy life. Video calls let you work face to face; phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
