Hello, my name is Eleanor and I am a qualified counsellor/ psychotherapist. I provide an empathic, warm, non-judgemental space, where together we can explore what is going on for you. I am an integrative counsellor, whereby I use a range of methods to suit the clients needs, including talking therapy and play therapy. I am particularly interested in exploring attachment styles with my clients as I believe our early attachments can significantly shape the people that we become. I also have a keen interest in working with neurodivergent children, young people and adults. I have completed training in this and I am continuing my development in it.
I am currently offering online and Walk & Talk sessions for adults and face-to-face sessions for children at Tong Hall, BD4 0RR ; they are both safe and confidential spaces.
