Because happiness tells its own story

“Eleanor is no ordinary coach. She’s gentle, compassionate, with an unwavering ability to see the positive in everything, whilst still being able to delve decisively into issues and concerns so that you feel no stone is unturned. She has helped me to create stronger boundaries in my life and has enabled me to dive deeply into the limiting beliefs that have been holding me back.
An astute and intuitive listener, Eleanor also has a great sense of humour, and is a master of her craft, freely sharing her resources and her extraordinary pool of psychological knowledge. She doesn’t just go the extra mile; she runs the whole marathon with you.
I would highly recommend Eleanor as a coach to anyone who is serious about creating a happier, more fulfilling life.”

“I contacted Eleanor for guidance on how to manage challenging situations with my two young children. From the very first session she gave me proper actionable advice. From dealing with picky eaters to homework tantrums, Eleanor provides an approach that has worked wonders with my children. And I will always appreciate her being there to take a call at short notice in the evening to help me through a particularly difficult episode with my daughter.
We often get through a lot in our sessions that it's difficult to recall everything. Thankfully Eleanor's excellent post-meeting notes cover all the main points and are a fantastic resource to refer to later on.
I have dealt with many coaches, but Eleanor is the only one I have recommended to members of my family. She is brilliant.”

“We came to Eleanor wanting help with addressing some negative patterns in our relationship.
We’ve found our sessions incredibly useful and have had a number of breakthroughs. Eleanor is an amazing facilitator and reflective listener with a huge bank of knowledge.
We really appreciate Eleanor’s approach - some of her questions have been challenging but through that challenge we’ve learnt more about each other and ourselves.”

“I am so grateful to have found Eleanor and to have been able to work with her the last 8 months. She has been pivotal in supporting me make difficult life decisions, helping me set goals whilst keeping me accountable to them and also helping me manage the overwhelming feeling of everyday life.
I have previously tried therapy however always felt this wasn’t a good fit for me personally. Unlike other traditional therapy, Eleanor really focuses on being your coach, using a variety of tools and techniques which now factor into my everyday life. Having Eleanor as a coach has allowed me to have open and honest conversations, without any awkwardness. No topic is off the agenda.
During our sessions we have focused on relationships, setting healthy boundaries, career, financial and personal goals as well as many more.
Eleanor’s calm and honest approach is so refreshing and I truly notice a difference after every session we have. Investing in yourself and your development will always be a worth while investment and I would truly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for a life coach!”

“I started my journey with Eleanor after moving to a different city, when I was struggling with the transition from university into working life. I'm a bit of a chronic overthinker and worry a lot about the future, as well as my relationships with other people. But from our very first session Eleanor gave me the space to talk through what was on my mind, and helped me feel comfortable opening up without feeling ashamed (something I also find hard to do).
Over the last year, she has helped me work through some of my deepest feelings and fears, teaching me some really helpful techniques for a 'toolbox' that I find myself using when I've retreated too far into my own head. Not only have I become better able to understand my emotions and turn negative thoughts into positive ones, but I also feel more confident, and less afraid of having 'difficult conversations'. I used to ignore, suppress or run away from my feelings, but learning to feel them and share them with people close to me - thanks to Eleanor's support and advice - has only made my relationships stronger. Now I always look forward to our sessions, and I'm so grateful to her for listening and helping me grow!”

“It is difficult to know when you set out what you might get or achieve from life coaching. Eleanor Marker has a psychotherapy background, and undoubtedly those deep skills play a part, but it is her focused understanding, deep questioning and ability to gently hold and encourage, in the most sensitive folds of life, that create so much space, room and understanding in my own head.
Life coaching has allowed me to move forward, really grow in my own self awareness, provide clearer direction and focus to what I really want and need. Invaluable.”
