Eleanor Darmudas

Hello, I'm Ellie and welcome to my profile.  I’m a integrative counsellor, currently working with children and young people for the NHS, as well as running my private practice, Mindful direction, welcoming client's of all ages whether that be in-person, online or over the phone. 

It can be a real struggle sharing our inner most thoughts and feelings, it may not always be possible to share these thoughts with the people we're closest to through fear of judgment or misunderstanding. This is where counselling comes into its own, you don't have to battle with anxiety, trauma, depression, or anything that's causing you distress alone.

I can offer you a safe, confidential and non- judgemental space to explore what's going on for you. We will work together, at your pace, exploring what maybe causing you difficulty. I believe that no one knows you, better than you know yourself. I won't be claiming I have the answers to your problems or how you 'should' live your life, I truly believe you are the expert on yourself and I value and respect you, for who you are. Together I believe we can work on unlocking the power within you to make positive changes, choices and overall help enhance your wellbeing. 

As an integrative counsellor I use a variety of approaches to best suit you, as an individual. I do not believe that ‘one size, fits all!’.  Whilst I may use a range of styles, for example, CBT, Psychodynamic, TA, at the core of my practice I am Person centred, and truly believe that the key to successful therapy is our relationship.

Sessions are £55 for 50 minutes 

I offer a free 20 minute zoom or telephone introductory session.

I operate a sliding scale for clients who maybe on a low income, facing financial difficulty or Trainee counsellors, which can be discussed in the intro session.

I hold an enhanced DBS and abide by the BACP's code of ethics.
