Eleanor Dillon
Empathic person-centred counsellor with practical tools
About Eleanor
Eleanor Dillon uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and accepted. She combines this with practical cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic reflection to address current struggles. Eleanor is based in the United Kingdom and holds an NCPS credential with three years of professional experience.
She often works with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people handling changes in life and the demands of parenting. Eleanor focuses on helping clients build self-esteem and manage feelings of guilt, shame or isolation.
Background and approach
In sessions she aims for a calm, non-judgemental tone. Conversations are plain and straightforward. People can expect to talk through what feels most pressing and develop small, practical steps to cope day to day.
Cognitive behavioural work may be used to spot thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover repeated patterns that affect current relationships and choices. Client-centred care keeps the client's priorities at the centre of each session.
Eleanor also supports people with communication problems, finding life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women's issues. Her work is collaborative - she listens first and helps set goals that fit each person's life. To start someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches online: listening, thinking and understanding
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says. It helps people feel accepted and safe while they sort through difficult feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and uses simple practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eleanor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest a way forward. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls suit fuller conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be good for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and other commitments and help people access care from different locations.
