About Ellie
BACP. 5 years' experience. Ellie Byrne works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people confronting relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career questions, and a range of personality and neurodiversity-related matters.
Ellie describes herself as a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach. She listens to what matters most to the client and helps them set the pace. She draws on psychological ideas from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic traditions alongside humanistic influences to inform the work.
Sessions focus on what the client brings. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy are used when helpful, for example to manage anxiety or adjust routines around sleep and eating. Motivational interviewing can support change around substance use or other behaviours clients want to alter.
Existential ideas are offered when people want to reflect on meaning, values or major life choices. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and staying present during difficult moments. Ellie aims to combine these approaches in ways that fit the person in front of her.
She works in the United Kingdom and conducts counselling in English. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session through the See online counselling options button. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Ellie applies therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-centred counselling focuses on the client's priorities and pace. The counsellor offers listening, reflection and questions that help people clarify what matters most and decide next steps. This style is often helpful for people facing big life changes or wanting a space to make their own decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, works on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change habits that cause distress. That approach is commonly used for problems like anxiety, depression and managing routines.
Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring a person's reasons for and against change. It can help those dealing with substance use or other behaviours they want to alter by strengthening motivation and planning doable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Ellie will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, needs and preferences and will adjust the plan as the work progresses.
