About Eleanor
Eleanor Dillon offers a compassionate, straightforward approach to therapy. She uses clear, person-focused methods to help people talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting worries. Eleanor holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
She keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Her style centres on listening without judgment and helping people make small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Eleanor draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different coping strategies. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused.
Eleanor helps people spot patterns in their mood and behaviour, and then experiments with new ways of responding. Work might include improving communication, building self-esteem, coping with life changes, or navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She pays attention to emotions tied to guilt, shame or isolation and aims to create a calm space for those topics.
Practical tools are offered alongside reflective conversation so people leave with steps they can use between sessions. Eleanor supports parents who want clearer routines, better boundaries, or help managing parental stress. She explains options plainly and collaborates on a plan that fits day-to-day life and individual goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. It means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping people find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and coping. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that shape current feelings, opening up understanding about repeated reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try different methods together and adjust as needed. That way the plan fits both the client’s needs and their everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, reflective journalling between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
