About Esther
Her approach aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She helps people develop new ways of coping with workplace bullying, burnout, anger and vicarious trauma. Esther also supports those navigating grief, career shifts, addiction concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Esther uses a mix of evidence-informed methods. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person's needs. Sessions typically focus on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life and build resilience over time.
She is experienced in working with people who have experienced childhood and adult relational trauma, and she understands the effects of abandonment, shame and attachment wounds. Esther also supports clients dealing with ADHD-related challenges, impulsivity and mood instability such as bipolar patterns.
Ultimately Esther aims to help clients move from surviving to living with greater wellbeing. She encourages practical goals, clear communication and self-compassion while tailoring therapy to each person's situation.

How Esther’s approaches translate to online therapy
Esther often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. This approach helps people build psychological flexibility and cope with anxiety, stress and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps with issues such as abandonment, trust and communication problems by exploring relational needs and practising different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that looks at what helps in daily life and what feels manageable week to week.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to continue therapy through relocations or work changes. Appropriately qualified therapists can guide choices about how to pace sessions and what techniques to use so therapy suits everyday routines.
