About Andrew
Andrew Ellis MA offers calm, practical support for people struggling with sleep, anxiety and life stress. He introduces clear steps and a steady tone so worries feel more manageable. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct explanations and a focus on what can change day to day.
Andrew has eight years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. He helps people who are dealing with trauma, addiction recovery, low self-esteem, anger and relationship difficulties. Sleeping problems are one of the issues he lists among his focuses, and he will talk through routines and coping strategies relevant to rest.
Sessions are person-centred and collaborative. He listens first to understand the situation, then uses practical tools from approaches such as cognitive behavioural work and acceptance and commitment ideas. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour work also appear in his practice when they suit the client's needs.
Andrew is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and he practises in the United Kingdom. He explains things plainly and aims to make therapy a straightforward process people can fit into daily life.
To begin he asks people to describe their current concerns and goals so sessions can be tailored. Conversations cover immediate steps for sleep and coping, along with longer term goals like rebuilding self-worth or managing mood swings. He invites an open dialogue about what is most helpful on any given week.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps that line up with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep habits by shifting focus toward meaningful action rather than getting stuck on worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going, such as anxious thinking that disrupts sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences, and may adapt tools as sessions progress. Conversations include checking what helps and what feels workable in everyday life so the plan evolves together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and school runs, or to have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows homework tasks, mindfulness exercises and behaviour experiments to be discussed and adjusted between meetings, helping changes to transfer into daily routines.
