About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers a calm, practical space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. He meets each person where they are and helps them take manageable steps forward. Many people come to him worried about anxiety, relationship strain, addiction or life changes and he focuses on clear, usable ways to move on.
Andrew has eight years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. He works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. He aims to understand the whole person rather than only the problem label, and he invites straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what the client hopes will be different.
In sessions he helps people talk through emotions, spot unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to keep work grounded and practical. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas may also be used to help with emotional regulation and present-moment focus.
Andrew also supports people navigating adoption and foster care matters alongside other concerns such as grief, abandonment and attachment questions. He is used to addressing issues around communication, trust, compassion fatigue and the practical effects of stress on daily life.
Conversations with him typically look at what matters most to the client, set small goals and test what works between sessions. He encourages open discussion about progress and adapts plans when needed so the work remains relevant and achievable.
How approaches like ACT and CBT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted if something is not helping.
Please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports consistent work on skills between sessions, such as recorded mindfulness exercises or written tasks, so therapy can fit around everyday life rather than replace it.
