Andrew Ellis MA, BACP

Andrew Ellis MA is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with grief, relationship problems, career strain and changes in family life.

Andrew approaches sessions as practical conversations. He listens to what is happening now, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and works with people on small, manageable steps. Expect straightforward tools and reflective discussion rather than jargon or abstract theory.

His work draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build short-term coping skills and practice different responses to stressful situations.

Andrew also uses client-centred and dialectical ideas to keep the focus on what matters most to the individual. That means grounding the conversation in the person’s values, and balancing acceptance of current experience with practical change. He applies these ideas when people bring issues such as addiction recovery, anger difficulties, or complications from trauma and abuse.

People often come for clear tools they can use between sessions. Andrew supports planning for setbacks and for carrying small changes into daily life. He is open to discussing how to work together and what a sensible first step would look like.
