About Andrew
Andrew Ellis is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a Master of Arts and eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions and issues such as low self-esteem and relationship strain. He also helps with trauma, grief, sleep problems and career or parenting pressures.
He aims to help people understand what is happening for them and to take practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear aims and on building skills that can change day-to-day responses. He talks things through in straightforward language and works with what matters in a person's life right now.
Andrew draws on several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness. These methods are used to notice difficult thoughts, try new behaviours and manage strong emotions without getting overwhelmed. He also uses client-centred listening and techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where helpful.
People often come because their anger affects close relationships or work, or because resentment and frustration build until it feels unmanageable. He will explore triggers, communication patterns and what practical changes might reduce tense exchanges. Work can include learning calming skills, changing unhelpful thinking and planning safer ways to express upset.
He welcomes conversations about where therapy might fit into everyday life and what realistic steps look like. If someone prefers, he will discuss goals and options before a first session to see which approach could suit them best.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide what matters to them. It often involves simple exercises to reduce avoidance and to act in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and help calm strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels realistic. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the focus on practical changes for everyday life.
