Ideas drive change.
Let’s bring yours to life.
Hi, I’m Eleanor, strategic health communications consultant.
I help health organisations develop clear, human communication that people trust, understand and act on.
Everything I do is grounded in insight, shaped by strategy and delivered with precision and purpose.
Insight. Clarity. Connection.
Everything in healthcare depends on effective communication. Too often, messages are planned from the inside out – around internal structures, not people’s realities. In a noisy world, one-size comms speaks to no one.
I flip the perspective: listen first, define what matters, then tailor messages to each audience. I can work with your data or run interviews, workshops and light user testing, then shape strategy and deliver clear content, informed by behavioural science.
Increasingly, I’m involved at the very start of projects – helping teams use communication to turn good ideas into lasting change.
The result: communication that lands and leads to action – building uptake, smoothing pathways and strengthening relationships.
Who I help
My clients range from healthcare providers and charities to national bodies, think tanks, health tech companies and universities. What connects them is a focus on insight and narrative – using communication to shift mindsets, build engagement and drive change.
I work with senior leaders, clinicians, researchers, academics, and transformation, engagement and communications teams. I often partner with innovation and evaluation teams when ideas move from pilot to practice – helping turn evidence and ambition into clear, engaging communication that helps new approaches take hold.
Whatever the project, the principle stays the same: communication that cuts through, earns trust and achieves results.
