Counsellor Profile: Eila Platt

Personal Introduction

Recognising the need for counselling can be hard, so I offer a safe space for when life hurts, using a number of different counselling models and theories to help with how you are feeling.

I have trained as a mental health nurse and have experience as a counsellor since 2006. I have worked in a variety of different areas including prison, NHS and substance misuse services.

About Me

My original training was a person-centred approach using elements of psychodynamic counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and spiritual formation.

I have since trained in a number of different counselling models and theories including transactional analysis, counselling for depression and interpersonal psychotherapy.

I therefore work in an integrative way depending on what may help you.
