About Elinor Taylor
Elinor Taylor is an integrative therapeutic counsellor who offers a flexible, client-led approach tailored to each person’s needs. She grounds her work in person-centered, psychodynamic, and humanistic traditions so that sessions are guided by the client's priorities and lived experience. Elinor aims to provide a supportive therapeutic space marked by empathy, unconditional positive regard, and attentive presence where people can explore the issues that matter most to them.
She also pays attention to how the body can reflect unconscious feelings and, where helpful, brings mindfulness techniques into the work to support greater awareness of physical sensations and emotional states. While she has a special interest in working with couples and addressing relationship, intimacy, and sexuality concerns, she supports people with a broad range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, borderline personality presentations, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, eating challenges, sleep problems, addictive behaviours, work-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, loneliness, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety.
Elinor holds BACP membership - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects a professional connection to national counselling standards and practice. Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused, aimed at helping people navigate change and build more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance that helps people explore their concerns at their own pace. It is especially useful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and working through personal or relational difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships. It helps couples and partners identify unhelpful interaction cycles, access underlying feelings, and develop more secure emotional connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. Practical exercises and collaborative goal-setting make it well suited to structured work online.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elinor treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the way sessions are run over time.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings.
