In a few words…

I am Eglantine (she/her), an integrative counsellor. I offer individual therapy to adults in both English and French, and I am available in person and online.

My professional experience

I have worked in several counselling settings, such as NHS Talking Therapies, organisations offering trauma-informed intercultural therapy to diverse communities, and low-cost therapy services. I am also a long-term volunteer with Samaritans, providing emotional support for those struggling to cope. This has allowed me to engage with people managing varied and complex life difficulties.

Prior to practising as a therapist, I worked for over a decade in financial services and then moved to the entertainment industry. This deepened my understanding of how professional dynamics and their inherent pressures can influence our sense of self, often affecting our mental well-being.

Relevant qualifications & accreditations

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre, and an MSc in Psychology from Coventry University.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I adhere to their ethical framework of principles and responsibilities, which guides my reasoning and decision-making.

I am also currently completing the MA in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling at The Minster Centre / Middlesex University, as I work towards accreditation with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

My path towards therapy

I grew up in France and moved to the UK as an adult. When I started therapy, I was still telling myself that I could, and perhaps should, deal with things on my own. However, I realised how different speaking with “someone else” was, someone with professional expertise, who would not advise me on what to do or how to think, but support me in finding the direction that made sense for me.

Receiving the attentive listening and care of my therapists was transformative. This led me to embark on training, with the aim to be alongside others too and help them feel able to live with deeper self-understanding and sense of choice.
