Andrew Ellis MA , BACP

Andrew Ellis, MA, is a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor who works from the conviction that most people can take positive steps toward change, even when that process feels difficult. He acknowledges that each person navigates a unique journey and that fears, worries and life s complexities are challenging to face alone. Because of this, he offers a supportive, collaborative space for exploring what is happening and for planning meaningful change.

As a practitioner and supervisor, Andrew tailors his approach to the needs of the individual - whether someone is seeking a place to talk, trying to make immediate changes, or aiming to sustain longer-term goals. He draws on established therapeutic methods to help people understand their experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Andrew has experience supporting people through trauma processing, anxiety management, low self-esteem, anger difficulties and recovery from addiction. His work aims to look beyond diagnostic labels and to understand each person as a whole individual.

Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds an MA, which denotes a Master of Arts degree. He is committed to providing personalised guidance and is willing to discuss how to work together to address specific circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance limits daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, nonjudgmental environment in which the person s own perspective drives the pace and topics of work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem and making sense of personal experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is often applied to anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with current problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with people to explore which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or by phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support even when meeting in person is not possible.
