Ellie Byrne, BACP

Ellie Byrne is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Ellie approaches conversations calmly and without judgement, helping people talk through what matters most to them.

Ellie trained as a psychologist and psychotherapist and holds BACP accreditation. She blends her clinical knowledge with a person-centred style so sessions stay focused on the person in front of her. Therapy is shaped around each person’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Her practical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, humanistic ideas and psychodynamic thinking to make sense of recurring patterns. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used when helpful to build day-to-day coping skills and motivation for change. Ellie explains ideas plainly and works at a pace clients find comfortable.

She has around five years’ experience supporting people with addictions, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD and the stresses of caregiving or first responder work. Additional focus areas include attachment and relationship issues, eating and sleeping problems, and recovery from domestic violence or abuse.

Ellie practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches that shape online work

Ellie commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns often seen with anxiety, low mood and addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ellie will discuss what matters to the person and try techniques collaboratively. She adjusts methods based on what the person prefers and what helps them meet their goals rather than insisting on one way of working.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around family, work or caregiving duties, or reduce travel time. Others choose options that let them check in briefly when needed or avoid being on camera. Discussing practical needs during the initial match helps make sessions fit everyday life.
