Andrew Ellis MA, BACP

Andrew Ellis, MA, BACP, is a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor working in the United Kingdom who supports people through difficult life moments and personal transitions. He recognises that fears, worries and complex feelings can make change feel daunting, and he offers calm, practical guidance to help clients take manageable steps toward their goals. Andrew provides a space to explore thoughts, make sense of what is happening, and decide on active steps to improve everyday life and longer term outcomes.

He works with a broad range of issues including trauma processing, anxiety management, low self-esteem, anger difficulties and recovery from addiction. His approach goes beyond labels - he aims to understand each person as a whole and tailors support to individual circumstances. In addition to direct therapeutic work, Andrew draws on his experience as a supervisor to support other practitioners' development. He welcomes direct conversation to discuss a person's needs and to agree a therapy plan that fits their situation and priorities.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-driven actions even when emotions are challenging. It can support those facing anxiety, grief, or major life changes by focusing on what matters most to the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical strategies to change behaviour and mood. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and sleep-related difficulties because it offers clear tools to try between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's agenda. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-esteem and navigating relational or identity-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and daily life. These formats provide flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to work with registered professionals from locations that suit them while maintaining continuity of care.
