Eleanor Williams
Hello, I’m Eleanor, I’m offering a space where you can feel heard. I understand that it can feel like a big step coming to therapy, or hard to know where to start — we can move at your pace. Most of all, I want to build a trusting relationship, which feels safe, to explore what’s brought you to therapy. You may be feeling distressed, overwhelmed, low or anxious. You might have experienced a significant change in your life, want to explore a particular issue — or to have a supportive space that’s just for you. I am a qualified counsellor, with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, registered with the BACP, and nearing the end of my psychotherapy training. My training is in Integrative Therapy, at The Minster Centre, one of Europe’s leading integrative schools. I draw together a number of theories, these are relational therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, body talking-therapy and I work in a trauma-informed way. In a session I try to pick up on what has emotional potency — or where it’s lacking. I’m interested in dynamics in relationships and might consider if these show up with us. I consider childhood experiences and notice how these appear now. I also include identity and how this is experienced in wider society, if this is something you’d like to explore. In general, sessions are open for you to talk about what you like. However, in an initial session I would want to cover certain questions in order to be able to work together, and it’s also a space for you to meet me and ask any questions. All sessions, including an initial one, are £65 and I work in-person.
