About Ellie

Ellie Byrne is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma. She also supports those coping with depression, relationship and intimacy problems, grief, parenting strain and work-related pressure. Ellie aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and practical.

Ellie uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client in charge of the pace and focus. She draws on psychological ideas from cognitive behavioural, existential and mindfulness approaches when these fit the situation. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what is most useful right now.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she helps people deal with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Ellie also supports people facing issues linked to attachment, codependency and controlling behaviour.

In the room she aims to be non-judgemental and direct when needed. Expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge and practical tasks to try between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier functioning, rather than jargon or complex theory.

People can expect therapy that is tailored to their situation and goals. Ellie works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. If you are unsure whether this approach suits you, the short matching questionnaire helps clarify fit before scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective, creating space to speak and be heard. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on listening, reflection and following the client's lead to identify priorities and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and looks for practical changes. In online work CBT often includes short exercises to try between sessions and clear, goal-focused tasks to change unhelpful patterns.

Ellie will work with each person to decide which approach fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She tailors methods and homework so the work matches everyday life and what the client wants to achieve.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or study commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that a mix of conversational sessions and short practical tasks helps people make steady progress.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
