Communications and coaching for social change
I help people in health and care untangle complex ideas, shape their narratives and use them to drive transformation.
Hi. I’m Eleanor, a communication consultant and coach. I help people and organisations in health and care achieve measurable impact by clarifying their ideas to inspire change.
Storytelling is my first love – but only as a means to an end. Used properly, the narratives we share about our selves, our work and our organisations solve real-world problems by clarifying our vision and engaging the people we need to reach.
I’m a rare breed, combining 20+ years’ writing, editing and filmmaking with coaching, qualitative research and facilitation.
Over that time, I’ve helped organisations and individuals in health and care change lives, through more than 1,000 pieces of work.
Each one has brought its unique objectives: to win a funding bid, to increase clinic attendance, to develop a professional identity…
… but what never changes is the need for a fresh perspective, solid expertise and the ability to bring different pieces of the puzzle together into a coherent whole.
Why choose me?
Strategic From policy recommendations and service improvements to career decisions and professional branding, I align everything I do with clear strategic goals, to ensure real change.
Insight led I can help you deeply understand your stakeholders – from staff and senior leaders to people with lived experience – to ensure your message resonates.
People focused From audience to colleagues, people are at the centre of everything I do. Depending on the task at hand, I may be coach, mentor, creator, problem-solver, cheerleader or motivator – and sometimes hand-holder.
Trusted I have 20+ years’ experience helping thinktanks, universities, charities, NHS organisations and independent consultants, at every level, to articulate and apply their vision for healthier lives.
The end result? Compelling, coherent narratives that clarify your ideas and energise you and the people you need to reach.
“It has been a privilege to work with Eleanor. She has brought clarity and practical usefulness to our work.”
