About Ellie
Ellie Byrne is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma and abuse. Ellie also works with people managing depression, grief, relationship and parenting strains, and changes in work or family life.
She uses a person-centred way of working that places the client's perspective first. Ellie draws on Client-Centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural methods and existential thinking. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when these suit a person's goals.
Sessions focus on what the client brings each week. Ellie helps people talk through difficult feelings, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier. She aims to keep things straightforward and practical so sessions feel useful between appointments.
Her background includes supporting people with addiction and substance misuse and helping those affected by trauma. She also helps people who are coping with parenting strain, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and work-related stress and compassion fatigue.
Ellie asks clients to take the lead in therapy while she offers psychological perspectives and practical tools. She works in English and does not work with international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's perspective at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping them clarify what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical steps to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice present-moment experience and develop calmer ways of responding to stress and intense emotion.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Ellie will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so work continues between appointments.
