Eli Barel
Hi there, I'm an qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist who offers you a place where your experience is taken seriously from the start. Where invisible symptoms are believed, and the emotional toll of chronic illness is understood without needing to be justified. My approach is direct and insight-driven, helping you make sense of what you’re going through finding clarity in the chaos. Together, we'll work toward more than just coping - we'll build emotional resilience, strengthen your sense of identity beyond illness, and develop tools for clearer boundaries, greater self-compassion, and meaningful change. You deserve support that helps you reclaim what’s possible.

Why the Spoony community matters to me
Spoony members represent a form of strength that often goes unseen. I’ve witnessed how hard it can be to navigate a world that misunderstands chronic illness, and I’m driven to offer a space where clients don’t have to explain or defend their experience. What sets my approach apart is that I don’t start with assumptions; I start with you and we work together to reclaim your voice and power. I’m here to help you move beyond survival mode, toward a version of life that feels more aligned, supported, and yours.
