About Ellie
Ellie Byrne is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction and major life shifts. She works with individuals feeling overwhelmed by grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, or struggles with sleep, eating and self-esteem. Ellie uses straightforward listening and practical conversation to help people untangle what matters most to them.
Ellie blends a person-centred style with approaches drawn from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic work. She draws on Existential therapy to help people face big questions about meaning and direction when life feels uncertain.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be guided by the client's concerns so therapy stays relevant and manageable. Her five years of experience include supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, and those working through addiction or substance use concerns. She also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and relationship difficulties.
Ellie pays attention to how life roles and responsibilities influence wellbeing and day-to-day coping. Ellie holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. She practises from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
Her style is non-judgemental and collaborative, with a focus on small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Deciding to try therapy is often gradual, and Ellie aims to make the first steps easier. She encourages prospective clients to reflect on what they want from counselling and to take those goals into sessions so progress feels clear and personalised.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Existential therapy helps people face questions about meaning, choice and purpose. In online sessions this can involve reflective conversation about values, life direction and how to make changes that feel authentic.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. It creates space for people to lead the conversation and to work through emotions at their own pace, whether on video or by message.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. It can suit problems like anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties and works well across video calls, phone and written formats.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust based on what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps make sure sessions match the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
