Ellie Byrne
Calm, person-centred support for practical change
About Ellie
Ellie Byrne focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and life changes. She meets each person where they are and aims to make sessions straightforward and understandable. Ellie uses a person-centred approach so the client sets the pace and direction of therapy.
Ellie has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices alongside person-centred listening.
Background and approach
In sessions Ellie will listen without judgement and help clients notice patterns that keep problems going. She offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours alongside space to talk about painful experiences. The work can include short-term strategies and longer conversations about meaning and values.
Ellie also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and work-related stress. Other areas she attends to include attention difficulties, bipolar mood challenges and issues linked to autism and attachment. She uses motivational techniques to help with change when people feel stuck.
Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapy approaches and online working
Ellie commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the client's lead, which helps when someone needs space to talk things through and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Ellie will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences, and may blend listening with practical exercises or mindfulness depending on progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel while phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to maintain steady contact with a therapist.
