About Ellie
Ellie Byrne is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction and substance use, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. She also addresses relationship, family and intimacy-related concerns and a wide range of other struggles that affect daily life.
Ellie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and existential approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and testing different ways of responding. She combines practical techniques with conversational work to help people set and try small, manageable goals.
Her background blends psychological and psychotherapy work with a person-centred counselling style. This means Ellie encourages people to take the lead while she offers structure, reflection and strategy when needed. She draws on motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices to support change and reduce reactivity.
Typical sessions involve discussing current problems, identifying thinking or behaviour patterns that are getting in the way, and planning concrete steps to try between meetings. She also works with matters such as sleep, eating, parenting strain, career stress and first responder issues when relevant.
Ellie describes therapy as a step-by-step process. People who choose her often want practical, structured help for everyday problems as well as space to talk through difficult experiences. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Ellie works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to plan small, practical experiments that test different responses. CBT is useful for problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and behaviour change because it focuses on specific patterns and actions to try between sessions.She also uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s concerns and pace first, offering space to talk and reflect while still bringing structure when it helps. Existential ideas may be used to look at values and meaning when people are facing major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ellie will discuss your goals and preferences and agree on methods to try together. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and may combine techniques across CBT, client-centred practice and mindfulness depending on what suits the person.
