Anxiety Counselling in Spitalfields
I have worked with people of all backgrounds experiencing a wide range of problems including anxiety, bereavement, cultural issues, depression, eating disorders, low self-esteem, relationship issues, sexual difficulties and trauma.
I provide a safe and non-judgemental space to explore any difficulties you may bring. These can be explored more in-depth in open-ended therapy (once or twice weekly) or with a special focus in short-term therapy (12 sessions). In addition to my private practice, I previously worked as an Associate Counsellor at the Royal College of Art.

From these areas, we experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, and at times other harmful and/or repetitive behaviours.
Most people who seek counselling and psychotherapy do not come with a diagnosis; they come because they are struggling with what’s going on in their life and/or what’s going on in their mind, and they are looking for change.

I focus on using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as research indicates that CBT can help many difficulties such as: anxiety-based problems ( panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias), depression and low mood, eating disorders, sleep difficulties, low self esteem, problematic perfectionism, and anger.
CBT looks at the impact of our thoughts and behaviours on our emotional state. We can get trapped in unhelpful patterns in our thought processes and things we do, which cause distress and get in the way of us leading our life. CBT aims identify and change these unhelpful cycles.
EMDR can help people to move on from distress related to traumatic events.

Hello, I'm Eleanor. As an integrative psychotherapist/counsellor, I welcome you into a confidential, empathetic, and collaborative space where you can express yourself freely.
We all go through times when life feels especially painful. When we need help to work through our problems or a period of transition. When the anxieties and uncertainty of this world make it hard to function.
Perhaps you know what brings you to therapy, or maybe you have a sense that something just isn't quite right. Either way, as bell hooks wrote, "rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion."

Bazen yaşadıklarımız sonucu kendimizi sıkışmış, kaygılı ya da yalnız hissedebiliriz, duygular taşınması zor bir hale gelebilir. Böyle dönemlerde süreci tek başına taşımak zorunda değilsiniz. Terapi, kişinin kendini daha iyi tanıdığı, duygularını güvenle anlamlandırabildiği ve hayatındaki tekrar eden döngüleri fark ederek daha sağlıklı yollar geliştirebildiği bir yolculuktur. Bu yolda yanınızda bir eşlikçinin olması çoğu zaman yükü hafifletir ve kişinin kendine daha şefkatli yaklaşmasını sağlar.

I tend to work with women to reduce anxiety symptoms, burnout, and perfectionism.

I am a Chartered and Registered Counselling Psychologist who adopts a pluralistic framework based on the premise that no one therapeutic approach is superior, and different clients are likely to benefit from different therapeutic methods at different points in time. The pluralistic position puts the client and their needs at the centre of therapy and is based on working collaboratively. I honestly believe that people are experts of themselves but with help from trained professionals they can have a better understanding of themselves and the reason(s) for their behaviours.

Welcome. If you’ve found your way here, perhaps something inside you is quietly asking to be seen and understood more deeply. You might not have the words, just a feeling that things feel heavy, unsettled, or out of sync.
I offer a grounded, gentle space where we can slow down and begin to listen to what’s often left unspoken. Together, we bring curiosity, compassion, and somatic awareness into the places that feel silenced, disconnected, or shamed. You don’t need to have answers. We begin with whatever is present.
I’m a humanistic counsellor, and my approach is integrative, relational, and embodied.

I work with clients who might struggle with anxiety, depression or trauma, which often reflect deeper relational or familial issues.
Therapy is a supportive process, which you can use to talk about whatever is important, painful, confusing, or maybe just relevant right now. It’s time and space to express thoughts and feelings which have not been expressed before or to put words carefully around things which cannot be expressed yet. Maybe it’s time and space to say quite frankly what is on your mind without being criticised, or repeat something as many times as you need to get in touch with your feelings without being judged.

Many of my clients are young professionals experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, depression or relationship difficulties.
My approach is psychodynamic, meaning we explore current difficulties alongside earlier experiences and relationships that may be shaping how you feel today. By making links between past and present, we can begin to recognise patterns that feel limiting and work towards meaningful, lasting change.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
