About Esther

Esther Enaruwe is a counsellor with three years' experience and a BACP registration. She speaks plainly about how starting therapy can feel scary and acknowledges the doubts that often stop people from reaching out. Esther emphasises a gentle, patient approach aimed at making the first steps easier to take. She welcomes conversations about a wide range of concerns, including jealousy-related worries when they come up in sessions.

Her work is practical and down to earth. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create space for people to lead the conversation, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Esther also draws on Psychodynamic and Existential ideas to look at how past experiences and personal meaning shape current feelings.

Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals. Esther helps people make small changes that fit into everyday life. She offers coaching-style support when clients want structured guidance alongside therapy. The pace is set by the person attending and adjusted as trust grows.

Esther is comfortable discussing a wide range of issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addiction and grief. She also works with concerns like body image, attachment and parenting strain. Conversations often include practical coping strategies and space to reflect on deeper patterns.

Esther works with English-speaking clients and accepts international enquiries. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session through the site. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Esther's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps people find their own understanding and solutions. This approach can help when someone needs a safe space to talk through confusing feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change habits that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood or stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther collaborates with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins on a workday or longer sessions when time allows. Because the exact session formats offered are not specified in the profile, confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them stick with therapy and apply coping ideas directly into daily routines.
