About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA works with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which step to take next. He presents a calm, practical presence and aims to make space for honest conversation. Many clients come with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or problems like addiction and grief.
Andrew's opening paragraph gives a simple promise: someone will listen and help you find clearer next steps. Andrew offers straightforward, person-focused counselling and psychotherapy.
Background and approach
He starts by helping people describe what matters most to them. Sessions then look at small changes that add up over time, and ways to build on strengths the person already has. He draws on a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas.
That mix helps with difficult emotions, unhelpful thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. Andrew has eight years' experience and holds MA training and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His work includes supporting people through trauma, addiction recovery, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting stress and career decisions.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with him in the United Kingdom. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to his availability.

How Andrew works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about their situation, goals and what feels helpful, then adapt methods together so therapy fits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single model.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of ways to meet remotely; check which formats are available and pick what suits your routine. Many people find online work easier to fit around busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to join from quieter surroundings without travel.
