About me
Hello, I'm Eleanor. As an integrative psychotherapist/counsellor, I welcome you into a confidential, empathetic, and collaborative space where you can express yourself freely. We all go through times when life feels especially hard. When we need help to work through our problems or a period of transition. When the stresses and uncertainty of this world make it hard to function. Perhaps you know what brings you to therapy, or maybe you have a sense that something just isn't quite right. Either way, as bell hooks wrote, "rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." Working together, we can better understand your past and present, untangle disruptive thoughts or behaviours, and help you imagine a future with more possibility. Working integratively means I shape a range of evidence-backed approaches to your specific needs. Many of the people I work with identify as LGBTQIA+, and my practice is queer, trans, non-binary, relationship diverse, and kink friendly. I also have much experience in cross-cultural therapy (working across racial and cultural difference).

Training and qualifications
Following six years of training, I obtained an MSc and a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute, one of the leading centres in the U.K. Before that, I studied Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling at The Minster Centre. In addition to my years in private practice, I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ young people, providing low-cost counselling to diverse communities in North London, and as part of a multi-disciplinary NHS team focused on personality disorders. I am also a member of the assessment team for a local counselling charity. I came to train as a psychotherapist following my own extensive experience as a client in individual and group therapy, and so I know first hand how transformative this work can be. I consider the therapeutic space to be a rare gift. Sometimes, words can’t express the complexity of being human, and in these moments I enjoy working creatively. That can mean drawing on wider ideas from art, literature, or philosophy, and working with art-making, metaphor, or the embodied experience. My practice and work continue to evolve. To support this dynamic process, I participate in a range of Continuing Professional Development activities, encompassing the latest developments and research in the field. Recently, this has included trainings in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed somatic work. My work also receives regular clinical supervision from a senior colleague.
