Client Origin Story - Eleanor Minney

6th Dec 2024

I’m Eleanor, and I appreciate you taking the time to read about my story.

Eleanor smiling into the camera with text saying Eleanor Minney Psychotherapist in Training and freelance artistIn summer of 2023 I chose to create a new re-designed artistic website parallel to creating an online presence for my psychotherapy practice. With greater mindfulness of energy consumption, I was delighted to find my way to Green Hosting.

My intention was to share my work with my local community, while also establishing the wider presence that being online generates. I really value the responsive and helpful service offered by Green Hosting, to guide me through this process of setting up my websites.

Here is a little introduction to my story:

As a Psychotherapist in Training, and a freelance artist and facilitator, I’ve spent 15 years or so exploring and expressing aspects of internal and external environments, becoming more interested in the relationships we have with our experience. For example, how we relate to wellbeing, spirituality, our own nature, and our inter-dependant environment.  

My initial training in Fine Art fostered an interest in the agency of therapeutic art, in an academic and fine art context. I also became conscious of the environmental implications of art making, which changed my process in the subsequent years - I started to work on projects that engaged people; created communication and collaboration. The completion of my BFA degree was, therefore, accompanied by an emerging curiosity in the deeper layers of experience. I developed socially-engaged arts work, with differing communities, while continuing my studies in Humanistic and Psychodynamic Counselling, followed by a training in Contemplative Buddhist Psychology. Along the way I worked and / or volunteered in adult mental health settings of various kinds.

I’m now (2024) in the final stages of training as a Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapist and offer psychotherapy for adults in my local community in Oxford. Facilitating evolving creative projects through my arts practice offers group explorations of wellbeing and meaning making. I now find the fresh, expressive, and creative process happens in relationship with deeper contemplation.

I hope this gives readers a sense of how my artistic and psychotherapeutic work has unfolded and how the practices connect with one another.
