About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people facing difficult changes and strong emotions. He listens without judgement and helps clients break worries into clear steps. Many come to him when anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or addiction feel overwhelming.
Andrew aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first meeting. He draws on eight years of practice working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, parenting stress and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
His approach focuses on what a person wants to change and how to get there in manageable stages. Sessions use everyday language and practical exercises alongside reflective conversation. Andrew uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
He also incorporates mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when they suit a person’s goals. These are offered flexibly to match individual needs. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, tools to use between appointments, and time to process difficult feelings.
He will help prioritise what matters most and build steady strategies for change. Andrew welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into someone’s life. He practices in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How Andrew’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits people wanting structured steps to reduce worry and improve sleep. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens and supports the client to find their own solutions; this can help when someone needs to feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Andrew will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. He checks in about progress and adjusts the mix of approaches where needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly use a range of methods online, and Andrew can help you choose ways of working that suit your situation.
