About Eleanor
Eleanor Dillon is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self‑esteem and depression. Her practice also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Eleanor helps people speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. She aims to make conversations straightforward and non-judgemental. She acknowledges how hard it can be to admit you need help and to take the first step towards change.
Her approach combines listening with practical ideas. She uses client-centred work to follow what each person brings to the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going.
Eleanor uses aspects of psychodynamic therapy to consider how past experiences might be influencing current feelings. That can be useful when guilt or shame keeps repeating across different situations. Sessions explore how past and present link together, with the pace set by the person attending.
She supports people through life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth, shifts in parenting, and moments of doubt about self-worth and purpose. Eleanor encourages straightforward discussion about what feels stuck and what small changes could be tried next.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritise letting someone lead the conversation and naming what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises that can be tried between sessions to test new ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas consider how earlier experiences may shape current patterns and can help if guilt or shame keeps recurring. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and how problems show up in daily life. Together they will try approaches that feel sensible and adjust them based on what works for the person. Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, as it can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can choose the setting that helps them concentrate, or avoid being on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online sessions aim to make the practicalities straightforward so therapy can slot into everyday life.Areas of expertise
