About me
Compassionate Counselling Tailored to You
Hello, I’m Elinor—a qualified integrative counsellor with over seven years of experience, working under the BACP ethical framework. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.
Life can be overwhelming, and at times, we all need someone to listen. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, loss, relationship difficulties, or other personal challenges, I am here to help.
I have always been passionate about supporting others. My background includes working with Victim Support, specialising in trauma and sexual violence, as well as roles in the NHS and care sector, where emotional support played a vital role in recovery and well-being. These experiences led me to counselling, where I now empower clients to navigate life’s difficulties with confidence.
Accessible & Affordable Support
I believe therapy should be available to everyone, which is why I offer competitive rates and discounts for students and those on low incomes. I provide single-session therapy, as well as short-term and long-term counselling, depending on your needs.
Taking the first step towards change can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support and guide you in a way that feels right for you.
Get in touch to find out how we can work together.
I am I.C.O registered.
Training, qualifications & experience
Online & Telephone Counselling – Individual & Couples Therapy
I offer professional online therapy via Google Meet or telephone counselling, with 50-minute sessions available for short-term, long-term, or single-session therapy.
With over seven years of experience, I hold a BSc in Psychology and Counselling, along with a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. My qualifications also include DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), trauma therapy, addiction counselling, couples and family therapy, and sexuality therapy.
As an integrative therapeutic counsellor, I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing from humanistic, person-centred, and psychodynamic approaches. My work is client-led, focusing on the present while recognizing how past experiences shape awareness and change. I provide a safe, supportive space for self-exploration, whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional relief, or personal growth.

Mental health & emotional wellbeing: Anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, social anxiety, loneliness

Changes in intimacy and desire
Sexual trauma and relational challenges
I work with monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, including polyamory, open relationships, and relationship anarchists.
Inclusive, Affirmative Therapy
I am trained to support LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodiverse clients, and diverse relationship structures, ensuring a safe, non-judgmental space.
Neurodiversity & Personality Disorders
I provide neurodiversity-affirmative therapy, supporting individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other neurodivergent experiences. My approach is adapted to each person's unique needs, whether that means working on emotional regulation, navigating relationships, or exploring self-identity.
I also have experience working with personality disorders, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and emotional dysregulation. My training in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) allows me to provide structured support in areas such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and distress tolerance.
I am fully insured and committed to ethical, confidential, and client-focused therapy.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
The initial contact made by yourself will prompt a brief telephone call to introduce ourselves and to assess what is required for our work together (this is free of charge).
Once this is done we will book in our first session which will be a fuller assessment, contracting and looking at the presenting issue.
From here we can make a plan together of how long you want therapy for, what type of therapy you might prefer to receive and make some outcome goals for us to work towards.
