About Andrew

Andrew Ellis MA offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by jealousy, relationship strain, anxiety or life changes. He presents a calm, practical presence and helps people take small steps that make day-to-day life easier. Andrew writes simply and listens closely to what each person wants to change. Andrew has eight years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. He helps people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, anger and sleeping problems, among other issues. He also supports people facing intimacy-related difficulties and those processing infidelity or abandonment. In sessions he uses a mix of practical talking and structured exercises. Techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness are used to spot patterns and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are brought in when someone needs to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He is based in the United Kingdom and works with people in English. He aims to make therapy easy to fit into everyday life. The first conversation focuses on what the person wants to change and a few simple steps to try between sessions. Andrew invites questions and keeps plans flexible so progress can match each person's pace. If someone prefers a clear, down-to-earth approach that mixes talking and practical exercises, Andrew can explain how his way of working might help and what a first meeting looks like.

How online approaches and methods fit together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small committed steps toward what matters. It can be useful for issues like jealousy, anxiety and stopping avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns. It suits worries, sleep problems and low mood. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not in the past. Together they decide which approaches to try and adapt them as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and collaborative.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people join from different locations when that suits their routine. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to deliver the same therapeutic tasks as face-to-face sessions, such as guided exercises, thought records and mindfulness practice, adapted for online conversation.
