Where coaching meets therapy
The best of both worlds …
More reflective than coaching and more proactive than therapy.
My approach combines the professional rigour and compassionate space of the therapy room with the forward focused, dynamic feel of coaching.
Why choose therapeutic coaching
Our work together will use powerful techniques to get to the heart of the issue, building on a multi disciplinary approach rooted in evidence based psychotherapy and modern coaching ideas. We will integrate three cores areas of your life:
Your inner world - looking at your critical voice, your sabotaging thought patterns, the individualities of how your mind works, cognitive reframing, inner narratives and much more.
Your emotional world - where we will explore what you’re feeling at a deep and profound level, make peace with your emotions, as well as learning to control them and express them.
Your somatic world - integrating your physical, embodied experience into your life, so that you make friends with your nervous system, incorporate the vagus nerve, re-integrate long held traumas and begin to understand the link between brain and body.
The power of personal sessions vs AI
AI is proving to be a modern wonder. From booking our holiday to explaining our ADHD to us, ChatGPT and other large language models are flourishing. They provide us with answers to our questions with, as yet, varying degrees of accuracy. Still in its infancy, this powerful technology is only going to get bigger and better, mimicking the human relationship in ways we can only wonder at today.
One thing AI can never do however is understand the lived experience of being a human in a living breathing body. It cannot experience the physical sensations of anxiety, it can’t ruminate over questions we have no clear answer to and it will never sit in front of Netflix crying into a tub of Ben & Jerry’s!
It can learn the most common things that humans experience and guess at these things for us, but it can never replicate the unique relationship that exists between two humans, which is at the very heart of the therapeutic relationship. To be seen, heard, validated and understood by another human and have that space held for you with compassion is something precious and sacred, and it is offered within the therapeutic and coaching experience.
“Eleanor has been so uplifting during our sessions together and very committed to coaching me. I've been blown away by how much she supports me outside of the sessions.”
“Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found Eleanor and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of coaching and support.”
— Beth, 36

Sometimes life gets messy …
Maybe you woke up one day and thought, ‘How did I get here? Where did it all go off the rails? And what on earth can I do to unravel this mess??’
On our own, it can be hard to even know where to start, and even harder to find the motivation and energy to make the necessary changes.
But together we can do amazing things.
We all get it. One minute things seem to be coasting along okay and then you realise that you are in a mess. Maybe it is a sudden change that has created a whole host of problems to untangle:
relationship issues
major life changes
difficulties in your job
awareness of your ADHD
starting a new business
an emotional upheaval in your life
dealing with emerging past traumas
And you suddenly find that life isn’t smooth sailing anymore.

Neurodiversity and inclusion
I work with many neurodiverse clients to help them embrace their unique approaches to life and the people around them.
In a world that is still working towards inclusion, it can feel a lonely place to navigate with an Austistic, ADHD or AuDHD brain. And while we wait for the world to grow its awareness of the strengths and wonders of the neurodiverse mind, I offer life coaching that understands and honours you in your entirety.
Whether you want to work specifically on issues relating to your neurodiversity or just want a safe space where you do not need to justify, explain or defend the way your brain works, I am here for you.
Together, we can make the changes we want to see in the world.

Work with me
I offer highly effective, personalised sessions.
My MSc in Psychotherapy has given me the breadth of knowledge needed to draw from many therapeutic approaches, including person centred therapies and cognitive therapies, with certifications in CBT, EFT and working as a Certified Professional ADHD coach.
I am trained in RTT trauma treatment which is used by many branches of the NHS and rape and crisis centres around the country to help people recover from traumas of any scale.
I specialise in using the advances of neuroscience and modern psychology to help you improve both your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Together we create new beliefs and attitudes to ensure success when tackling life’s challenges.
I am a qualified and committed life coach whose approach centres on respect and empowerment where we work together in a compassionate environment to create achievable and meaningful relationship goals.
This background allows me the freedom and flexibility to choose just the right approach for you. I do not rest on one discipline, but instead am able to offer you the targeted help you need, based wholly on your requirements and lifestyle.
Tried therapy but it didn’t work for you? Not sure you need a therapist but do feel you need help? Book a free consultation with me. I only take on clients that I know I can help so together we can see if my approach can offer you the help you need.
