I'm Eleanor Baker. I work best with people who are carrying more than they let on. A mind that won't stop racing. A past that keeps showing up in the present. Relationships that feel harder than they should be. Often, all of it at once.
What I care about most is creating a space where you can say the things you haven't been able to say anywhere else. Not because I'll have some perfect solution, but because getting those words out, to someone who's truly paying attention, is often where the shift begins. I take listening seriously. It's not something I do while waiting for my turn to talk. It's the foundation of everything.
A lot of people I connect with are struggling with self-worth. Maybe you find it almost impossible to speak kindly to yourself. Maybe your relationships keep hitting the same walls and you're starting to wonder if you're the problem. Maybe you feel invisible, like nobody really sees you. Those are painful places to be, and you don't have to stay in them.
My approach is compassionate but not passive. I'll gently challenge when I think it will help, and I'll hold back when what you need is simply to be heard. We'll work on practical strategies for managing the overwhelm, and we'll also go deeper into what's driving it. Both matter equally.
I'm particularly drawn to helping people who've been through difficult experiences and are trying to move forward without those experiences running the show. That's careful, nuanced work, and I don't rush it.
Steady, attentive, committed to your well-being. That's what you'll get from me.
