About Eleanor

Eleanor Dillon is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and with people facing parenting pressures and life changes. Eleanor also helps with self-esteem, motivation and pregnancy and childbirth concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centred methods to listen and respond to what each person brings. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns of thought that make things harder, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current feelings.

In sessions she encourages clear, honest conversation about what is worrying someone now. Practical steps and small experiments often sit alongside talking through emotions. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable, not to rush to big changes.

People come to Eleanor with communication problems, guilt or shame, and feelings of isolation. She offers a calm space to sort through those issues and consider realistic next steps. She can support someone weighing up questions of life purpose and self-love.

Her experience includes working with issues commonly faced by women, including pregnancy-related concerns. Eleanor invites people to begin by describing the pressures they face at home or work, so they can decide together what to focus on next.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Eleanor blends client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people online. Client-centred therapy means the session focuses on what the person brings and on listening carefully to their concerns. It can help when someone needs to talk openly about stress, parenting pressures or low mood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eleanor will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative choice takes account of a person’s goals, current problems and what feels manageable for them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The practical aim is to make regular conversation and small, practical steps easier to keep up in everyday life.
