Learning to control your anxiety

Maybe you find yourself comparing your life with others, wondering why things seem to be going wrong for you.

Perhaps you feel feel as if you have tried and tried to create positivity in your life, to restore those feelings of contentment, but nothing seems to be working.

Maybe you feel isolated and frustrated by the well-meaning advice of family and friends which never seems to help.

And maybe you feel as if you’ve tried everything and you are now left feeling lost, with nowhere to turn.

Then you are in exactly the right place.

Because I am where people turn when they feel lost and directionless.

Real life success stories - moving from anxiety to joy

Esther would wake up feeling so anxious about the day ahead that she chose to stay in bed rather than get up and care for herself and her daughter. Her relationship was suffering and she was off sick from work.

Fast forward six months of working together and Esther had a new job, plans to move in with her partner and woke up excited for the day ahead. Esther is a truly indomitable person who has turned her life around and is now approaching each day with joy and hope.

“Eleanor has helped me work through some core challenges and triggers while balancing that with the cultivation of joy, to shift my perspective, mindset, and ability to handle the hard stuff. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to make a change or just feeling a bit aimless and in need of some guidance!”

Annabelle would come to our sessions so heightened with anxiety that we spent many hours working on techniques to regulate her emotions and work through the core issues that were triggering her stress.

We are now making progress on putting the foundations in place to cope with future triggers and learning to identify how to make her life smoother in the present. Annabelle is learning to recognise that she alone holds the keys for her own happiness and she’s making steps towards it every single day.

“I would feel so frantic that I felt as if I was on a permanent fairground ride that I couldn’t get off but I hated! Eleanor has slowly and patiently helped me work on recognising what I was feeling and learning how to be okay with some of the really hard emotions. I finally believe I can beat this anxiety.”

Moving on from trauma

Trauma can sometimes be one big traumatic event, or decades of chronic trauma, or a short period of sporadic traumas. But whatever it is, it can hold you back and keep you rooted in the past.

It’s time to move on.

I am qualified in Rewind Trauma Treatment which is a highly effective, non-intrusive method for addressing trauma and PTSD, offering lasting relief without requiring clients to disclose distressing details of their experiences. This approach is particularly valuable as it reduces the risk of re-traumatization while allowing you to process and neutralise traumatic memories in a safe, controlled manner.

RTT is an evidence-based approach and is supported by extensive research. It has been adopted by leading institutions and trauma centres across the UK due to its proven ability to provide rapid, lasting relief. For more details, visit the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy.

Trauma lives in our bodies as well as our minds and I am also trained in somatic trauma approaches focusing on the connection between mind and body in healing trauma. These methods recognize that traumatic experiences often leave physical imprints that words alone cannot address.

Pioneered by Dr. Peter Levine, somatic trauma therapy works by addressing the impact of trauma on the nervous system, helping to restore balance and regulate stress responses. By gently guiding individuals to release trapped energy and tension, somatic practices support the natural healing processes of the autonomic nervous system, creating a sense of safety in both body and mind.

Real life success stories - reclaiming your light

Matilda was exiting a long standing abusive relationship and so was coping with the day to day struggles of navigating a break up along with a history of decades of chronic trauma.

We worked on coping techniques and strategies for the now, building up a strong relationship of trust and safety to enable us to begin working through her complex trauma together. Matilda has learnt that her strength was always there inside her, and that no-one could take that away from her.

“I couldn’t have done this on my own. Eleanor has really gone above and beyond with messages through evenings and weekends to help me deal with an awful break up and I’ve really felt that she’s been there in my corner to get me through this. I’d have been lost without her there with me.”

Jo had emerged from a narcissistic relationship and was doubled over with hugely difficult circumstances, a social network that was shrinking and a consistent policy from her ex to undermine her credibility.

Together we have slowly and steadily prioritised her safety and worked on rebuilding her trust in herself. Jo has emerged a courageous and sensitive person with a clear understanding of her boundaries and how to use her values to ensure her sense of self is protected at all times.

“Eleanor has been there throughout for me and has often made space at the last minute for us to talk through what I’m feeling. Our sessions are a place of calm for me and I’ve learnt to regulate my nervous system regardless of the triggers around me.”

Real life success stories - from conflict to intimacy

Andy knew his relationship wasn’t working but no matter what he tried, he felt as though he could never get it right. He was days from giving up on a decades long marriage when he came to me for coaching.

Within two months, he felt committed, connected and intimate with his partner for the first time in years. Two years on, and they’re going from strength to strength as a loving and respectful partnership. With me, Andy learnt to have self-belief and courage to express his needs and have them met in his relationship.

“I had basically given up and Eleanor was my last shot. I’m so glad I called her as I would have lost everything I’d worked on for years without her. I went from a loveless marriage to dirty weekends away. I still can’t quite believe it"!”

Peter and Lisa were always at loggerheads and when they argued it was as if the whole relationship was over. They were both tired of this boom and bust cycle and so together we worked on ways to communicate, how to argue and the secrets to being seen, heard and understood in a relationship.

They now feel solid and able to face any challenges, safe in the knowledge that they know how to talk to each other and be heard. Both Peter and Lisa have come to realise that their biggest relationship gift is their ability to be there for each other, no matter what.

“It’s been a gift having Eleanor in our lives. She’s professional, friendly and most of all gives really good advice. This isn’t ‘sit back and listen’ coaching but instead a collaboration to make real life changes. She’s fabulous!”

Not just surviving but thriving with ADHD

People with ADHD can be amazing problem solvers, hugely able to pivot and tackle issues from alternative angles, flexible, adaptive and creative.

But ADHD can also lead to issues with focus, procrastination, goal setting and achievement, and overwhelm in the moment. This can lead to a huge sense of frustration.

You have all this potential - ideas flow easily - you have periods of intense hyperfocus ...

But at other times you lose track of goals, you forget wider aims and you may find yourself lost down rabbit holes and getting sidetracked from what you really want to be doing.

With me, you will gain:

  • Confidence and support to help you see the huge benefits of an ADHD mind

  • Compassionate and accountability for your goals and to keep you focused and on track

  • Full between session support, as I know that ADHD doesn’t just stop once our session finishes

  • Comprehensive and confidential ADHD testing and informal diagnosis

  • An open, positive and inclusive practice that gives you the support and space you need to grow into your diagnosis.

  • Support

  • Structure

  • Accountability

  • Compassion

  • Empowerment

  • Understanding

  • Momentum

  • Results!

  • I can be with you every step of the way. Together we can talk through the pros and cons of diagnosis, what you want from the process and where to go once you're on the way to diagnosis.

  • I can help you learn the amazing benefits as well as help you navigate the challenges of an ADHD diagnosis. Together we can make plans to ensure you are set up to thrive with ADHD.

  • Waiting lists are long for ADHD diagnosis and so many people are self diagnosing. I can help you to get a sense of who you are and where you fit in the ADHD scheme.

    Together we can take the very best from ADHD and prepare for the challenges with a sense of empowerment and confidence.

  • Whether it is affecting your relationships, your confidence or your performance at work or home, together we can make a solid plan to improve your situation. Anxiety, catastrophic thinking and perfectionism can all hugely impact your day to day life with ADHD.

    With gentle accountability and realistic goal setting, I will be here every session to help and support you with compassion and understanding.

  • I work with AuDHD clients who are struggling to find peace within their own minds. Often it can feel as if there's a battle going on within you, and you're just a bystander.

    Together, we will use concrete and proven strategies to help harness the powers of both your autistic and ADHD mind, and to move forward with confidence in who you are and what you offer the world.

  • ADHD can be a superpower, but it can also leave you feeling misunderstood or isolated. And nothing feels more alone than struggling to navigate a neurodiversity within a romantic, family or even work relationship.

    From social anxiety to Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, together, we will improve the sense of connection and understanding within your relationships.

Real life success stories - finding the extraordinary in your mind

Sophie came to me feeling as if she was in a permanent battle with her own brain. She was struggling to find the positives from her Autism diagnosis and wondered if she might also have ADHD. I gave her an informal but comprehensive test and she scored with a 98% probability for ADHD.

Just having this knowledge helped Sophie to work with her brain, recognising that her strengths came from the same place as her challenges, and learning strategies to cope with the real life effects of her diagnoses. For Sophie, her inner strength comes from her growing self-awareness and compassion.

“Eleanor has been invaluable by my side as I explore and navigate all the sides of my AuDHD brain. I no longer see my neurodiversity as a burden, but am embracing all the many gifts, strengths and quirks I have as a beautifully unique individual!

Life can be challenging, and Eleanor has been amazing support with her kind, positive and no-nonsense coaching, thank you for doing what you do!”

Ana is a thriving and vibrant client who needed support to make her day to day life work for her. We worked together to recognise her biggest challenges and how her ADHD might be showing up for her.

Today she has had the strength to leave her relationship and start a new job in a new country, and she continues to go from strength to strength.

“I am so very grateful for Eleanor and I highly recommend her life coaching / counseling services, especially if you have ADHD or another kind of neurodivergence. I have been one of the very lucky people to reap the benefits of her dedication to staying at the top of her field and helping people to the best of her ability.

Eleanor is the biggest gift of my life in 2024. I am so grateful I found her because she has been the most empowering, empathetic, sobering, motivating, solution-oriented, positive, compassionate, wise life coach for me. Again, I wholeheartedly and genuinely recommend her.”
