About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. He meets individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps. Andrew writes short, clear goals with each person and helps them try small changes that can make daily life easier.
He uses straightforward talking therapy and evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on what matters to the person right now - easing panic, reducing cravings, managing anger or coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
He also helps people process grief, trauma or problems with intimacy and relationships. Andrew trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years of clinical experience. He draws on cognitive approaches to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and acceptance-based ideas to live alongside difficult feelings.
Practical skills feature alongside deeper reflection. That can mean learning short grounding exercises, practising new ways to speak about problems, or setting tiny experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. Sessions are collaborative - Andrew works with each person to choose what feels most useful.
He offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and messaging for people located in the United Kingdom. Conversations are in English and geared to fit into busy lives. If someone prefers, Andrew can mix formats to suit their routine and goals.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and agree a plan based on the person's goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process can mean trying different techniques and adapting them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging supports short ongoing contact between appointments. These formats make it easier to book sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
