Eleanor Dillon

Eleanor Dillon is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Eleanor also lists additional focus areas such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love and women's issues.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. She aims to give people space to say what is on their mind and to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying thoughts that make feelings worse, and testing small changes between meetings.

Eleanor draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and help people feel heard. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns that repeat over time.

Those who come for support with parenting or pregnancy and childbirth often work on communication and realistic self-expectations. People questioning their life purpose discuss values and practical next steps, rather than abstract solutions. Eleanor aims to keep the work focused and applicable to everyday life.

She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can make sense of their own thoughts and feelings; it helps when someone needs a calm place to speak and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving; it can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns from past experience and how they show up now, which is helpful for understanding long-standing relationship or self-image issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress, keeping the process collaborative rather than fixed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on stress, parenting challenges or questions about life purpose.
