About Ellie
Counsellor Ellie Byrne is a BACP member with five years' experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and career worries.
Ellie uses a person-centred way of working. She listens and follows what matters most to the person in the room. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change or understand.
Ellie draws on a mix of psychological approaches. She uses client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from psychodynamic and existential thinking. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her practice when useful.
In practical terms she helps people notice patterns of thought and behaviour. She supports steps to manage anxiety, tackle addictive habits and process the impact of trauma. Conversations may include looking at relationships, family roles and everyday routines that affect sleep, eating or anger.
Her work is grounded in straightforward conversation. Ellie invites people to set the pace and goals. She explains approaches clearly and checks in about what is useful as therapy progresses.
Ellie works across the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Before booking it is sensible to confirm the current session options and costs so they match your needs.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters. It is about building understanding through steady, respectful conversation and can help with low mood, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical ways to try different responses and is often used for anxiety, depression and managing addictive behaviours.
Mindfulness work brings attention to present-moment experience and simple breathing or noticing exercises. It can help with stress, sleep and managing intense emotions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy proceeds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to keep regular contact from different locations, provided quiet and uninterrupted time is arranged for the session.
