About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which step to take next. He works with individuals who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes and provides a straightforward space to talk things through.
Andrew keeps sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of him and helps identify small, useful steps that can be tried between meetings. He uses plain language and avoids jargon.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational but directed, with time spent on understanding what has led to the current difficulty. Andrew draws on approaches that encourage action, acceptance and clearer thinking to help manage strong emotions and confusing patterns. His background includes eight years working in therapeutic roles across the United Kingdom.
He holds a Master of Arts and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That combination informs a reflective style that balances listening with practical tools. Clients can expect help with a broad range of concerns such as grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stresses and career transitions.
He also addresses specific problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, anger and boundary difficulties. Andrew tailors his work to each person’s needs and preferences. He offers a mixture of talking, mindfulness practice and skills training depending on what the person finds most useful.
Conversations about goals, options and simple experiments are part of the usual process.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferred style during early sessions and adapt methods as you go. Together you can try different techniques and agree which ones to keep working on based on what helps in daily life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel. Video lets you have a more conversational experience, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for short check-ins or when describing thoughts in writing. These options give greater flexibility and can make it simpler to maintain a regular schedule with a registered or accredited professional.
