Esther Fendall

Esther Fendall is a counsellor with 14 years of practical experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Her approach is adaptable and aims to help people make sense of their thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace.

Esther works alongside people so they can set small, realistic goals and move towards them. She describes herself as empathic and honest, and focuses on what feels right for each person. Conversations centre on understanding past and present difficulties and finding ways to cope and heal.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their Ethical Framework. Esther works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. This means the practical methods she uses are chosen to suit the individual rather than following a single model.

Her background includes work in private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service and volunteer roles for a UK mental health charity. Those roles inform her work with concerns such as addiction, grief, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, anxiety and stress.

Esther has lived in London and spent many years in Ecuador, South America, and now lives by the coast in the United Kingdom. She brings that life experience to her therapeutic style, aiming to create a gentle, steady pace for change.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Esther describes her work as integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to meet each person's needs. One common approach she may use is cognitive-style work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways to respond. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Another approach often used in integrative practice focuses on understanding relationship patterns and attachment concerns. This style helps people see how past experiences influence current relationships and supports changes in how they relate and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Esther will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit a person's goals, preferences and life circumstances. She adapts the pace and techniques so they feel manageable and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around daily life, reducing travel and making it easier to schedule appointments during busy weeks. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the format you choose.
