About Eleanor
Counsellor Eleanor Dillon is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Eleanor also focuses on practical issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Eleanor uses straightforward talking and listening to help clients clarify what matters to them. She draws on client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth. Eleanor helps people spot small changes they can try between meetings. She also supports people who are dealing with life changes, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her background includes three years working directly with adults on common mental health issues. The NCPS credential is shown as supplied. Eleanor works from the perspective of talking therapy, blending listening with tools from different approaches as appropriate.
People who contact her are asked to complete a short questionnaire before a first appointment. That helps clarify immediate concerns and match the first session to what the person wants to cover. Readers in the UK should confirm session options and any local arrangements before booking.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy is about listening and placing the person’s experiences at the heart of the work. It aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and decide what is important to change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of everyday life by testing new ways of thinking and behaving.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to longer-standing patterns and feelings that affect current relationships and choices. It can help uncover repeated themes and make sense of emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eleanor will discuss the options with each person and agree on methods that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also mean using less bandwidth or choosing audio-only if that helps someone manage practical or technical limits.
