About Eleanor

Eleanor Dillon helps people talk through stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and depression using client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She is registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has three years of professional experience in the UK.

She offers a straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what matters most to the client. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy are used when helpful to manage anxious thoughts and low mood. Client-centred principles guide the pace and focus, so the person leads the topics we cover.

Over time she also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns and how past experiences can shape present reactions. This can help with recurring communication problems, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation. Eleanor makes space to talk about parenting worries, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues many women face around self-love and life purpose.

Her style is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and practical coping steps alongside reflection on longer-standing patterns. Eleanor works in English and practises within the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work and focuses on listening, understanding and following what the client brings. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to clarify their own priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then test different ways of working and adapt over time in collaboration with the client.

Practical benefits of remote sessions should be checked before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list specific formats. Generally, online counselling can make it easier to fit short appointments into a workday, reduce travel time and allow quieter surroundings when concentration is needed. If a phone call is preferred, it can be a lower-bandwidth option and may suit a brief check-in or if being on camera is difficult. Confirm which session formats are available with the counsellor when arranging the first appointment.
