My practice integrates Transactional Analysis, Jungian Analysis, Dream Exploration, Gestalt and Person-Centered therapy, bringing a rich, creative, and trauma-informed-approach to our work. I offer a space where all identities are seen, heard, and valued. I provide a space to engage with unconscious patterns, personal mythologies, and deep-rooted narratives, making sense of your experiences in a way that feels authentic to you. It is an exploration of self-awareness, a reclaiming of your story, and a step toward greater freedom in how you live and relate.

Hello! I’m Eleanor and I love the work I do. I help conscientious people worry less and enjoy life more! If you’d like to develop greater clarity about how you want to live your life, and get positive momentum to achieve your vision, I’d be delighted to help you move forward – with practical and encouraging guidance. I can help you creatively and compassionately heal and overcome internal and external obstacles; develop the mindsets and resources to feel centred and confident; and build the resilience to stay courageous, determined and strong.

In a world where perfection is seen as an attainable goal, in my therapy room I offer an alternative: curiousity and play.  Counselling and psychotherapy provides a space just for you. To speak and be truly heard and have all aspects of you be welcome. I celebrate imperfection to allow you to discover your most authentic self, and an environment where all people, whether wounded or healing, will always be welcome. In practice, I work in a similar way to how I play music with my (amateur) orchestra: finding something bigger than ourselves through working together, and letting go of
