Psychotherapy is most helpful when our usual ways of coping are no longer enough. While Eleanor treats people using a variety of therapeutic models, her core training is through a psychodynamic framework, which offers a deep and nuanced understanding of the mind and psychological development. This allows her to work effectively with a wide variety of difficulties—whether mild or severe, recent or long-standing. These may include challenges in how you relate to yourself or your body, difficulties in relationships, struggles with anxiety, mood, or behaviour, and the ongoing impact of past experiences that continue to shape life in the present.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply looking for space to reflect, therapy is about creating a safe and supportive relationship where you are treated with respect and understanding. It may be short and focused or longer term and open ended depending on what you need, what is going on and what you need to change.
