Andrew Ellis MA, BACP

Andrew Ellis MA, BACP is a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor who believes that people have the capacity to take positive steps in their lives and careers, even when those steps feel difficult to make. He recognises that each person travels a unique path and that fears, worries and complex circumstances can make progress hard to sustain. When challenges feel overwhelming, he offers a steady, supportive presence to help explore options and find practical ways forward.

In his practice Andrew provides a welcoming space for individuals who want to understand what is happening for them, make active changes in their immediate circumstances, or keep moving toward longer term goals. He combines professional training with attentive listening to provide guidance that is tailored to each person’s situation and priorities. Andrew’s MA indicates a Master of Arts degree, and his BACP credential shows membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

He works with people dealing with a range of difficulties, including processing trauma, managing anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management challenges and recovery from addiction. Rather than focusing only on labels, Andrew aims to support the whole person and to work collaboratively to identify realistic steps for change. He is open to discussing individual circumstances and how they might be addressed together.

Therapeutic approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take practical action in line with those values. It supports work with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by combining acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with committed steps toward chosen goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers structured strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, depression and managing stress through practical skills and short-term plans.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person is treated as the expert on their own life. This approach supports self-exploration, builds self-esteem and creates a collaborative environment for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with people to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may draw on different approaches over time as circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect with registered professionals. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments, reduce travel time and make it easier for people to access consistent support from wherever they are in the United Kingdom.
