  • Cognitive behavioural tools
  • Mindfulness methods

About Ellie

Ellie Byrne is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger and life changes. Ellie also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career or parenting stresses.

Ellie draws on a blend of psychological approaches while keeping the person central to sessions. She uses elements from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions tend to be guided by what the client wants to focus on, with practical discussion and reflection on patterns of thought and behaviour.

Her style includes straightforward conversations about how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to try new ways of responding to difficult situations. She also explores personal meaning and life choices using existential ideas when that is helpful.

Ellie pays attention to how addiction and trauma affect everyday coping. She offers motivational techniques for people trying to change habits, and mindfulness-based ideas to help with stress and low mood. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

To begin, potential clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Ellie brings therapeutic approaches into online work

Ellie commonly uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas in her work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what the person brings to each session, helping someone feel understood and able to set the pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduce practical experiments to try different responses.

She also draws on existential ideas when people want to examine values, life choices and meaning. That approach helps when anger links to a bigger sense of dissatisfaction or life change. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative - Ellie and the client discuss what feels most useful and adjust as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. The focus remains on practical change, trying out new coping strategies, and planning steps that fit around everyday life.
