Eleanor Cooper-McCann BSc (Hons)Counselling MBACP(Accred) CBT & EMDR Therapist

About me

I am an accredited registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and have the training and experience to help you explore issues which may be affecting your well-being.

Every person’s life experience is unique, and we can sometimes find ourselves in places where it’s difficult to deal with these experiences. Work-related stress, anxiety, depression, lack of self- worth, bullying, anger, loss, trauma, childhood issues, relationships are just some of the things which may be affecting us.

I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space in which to work through the issues that are affecting you. These issues may be long-standing ones (e.g. childhood abuse), or they may be relatively new ones (e.g. work-related stress) … but no matter what they are, part of my role as a counsellor and therapist is to listen to you, hear you, and help you to deal with them in a way that’s appropriate to you. We will work together to develop your resilience and ability to bring about change and personal growth – and as these changes begin to happen, support you in moving forward with your life.

I am qualified to work in a number of therapeutic approaches, and can effectively tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. For example, I am a qualified Therapeutic Life Coach, so have the skills to help you make positive changes to your lifestyle. I have over 1000 hours of counselling experience, working in GP Practice, Voluntary Sector and Private Practice. I am a Counselling Supervisor (supervising both qualified and student counsellors); I have worked as a Counsellor/Staff Support counsellor in the NHS and Employees Assistance Programme, and am a Heath Assured (EAP) affiliate and a BUPA, Aviva and AXA  provider.

I look forward to hearing from you.
