About Esmie

Esmie Wainwright works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression using approaches such as attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Esmie listens to what matters most and helps people talk through patterns that make life harder. Sessions focus on how early attachments and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She uses practical cognitive behavioural techniques alongside reflective work to look at recurring reactions and beliefs.

She often addresses themes such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and blended family issues. Other areas she works on include codependency, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame and post-traumatic stress.

Esmie includes multicultural concerns and narcissism-related patterns among her focus areas. Her approach combines short-term practical tools with longer-term exploration of relationship and developmental patterns. This helps people manage symptoms now while understanding underlying causes.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence how people respond now, and it can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help people find their own solutions; this approach suits those wanting to explore feelings and make personal changes at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical changes to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adjust methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions are organised through the service’s process, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera for the whole session. Registered or accredited professionals can use these benefits to help people access consistent support while balancing other commitments.
