About Elinor
Elinor Taylor is a counsellor who uses an Existential approach alongside client-centred ways of working. She keeps sessions focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. Elinor aims to listen with care and help people name worries, choices and patterns that feel stuck.
She draws on person-centred and humanistic ideas to build a respectful, non-judgemental space. This means sessions tend to be paced by the client and shaped around immediate concerns.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck by looking at values, life direction and how they want to live, and can be useful for grief, major life changes and relationship questions.Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s agenda to build understanding and self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical ways to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what to try first based on needs, goals and preferences. Plans can change as sessions unfold and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy with Elinor uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can support face-to-face style conversation, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can help when people prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping.
