About Esther

Esther Enaruwe works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and other life challenges using person-focused approaches and talking therapies. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in counselling practice.

Esther understands how hard it can feel to start counselling. She writes plainly about the fear of opening up and the embarrassment that can come from talking about personal history. In sessions she aims to make conversation straightforward and approachable so people can speak about what matters without extra jargon.

Her work draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means she listens to the person first, helps identify unhelpful thinking or patterns, and looks at how past experiences affect present behaviour. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps as well as exploring feelings.

Esther helps with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, parenting stresses and career problems. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and other long-term stressors. These topics are discussed in clear, manageable pieces so people can try changes between sessions.

She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How Esther uses therapeutic approaches in remote counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s concerns. The counsellor gives space for the person to lead the conversation and responds to what matters most to them. This approach helps when people need acceptance and clarity about their feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and coping habits, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and some behavioural issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esther will discuss different methods and decide with the person which fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions and what is practised between meetings.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Remote work can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to join from a place with fewer interruptions. The original biography does not list which formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. The focus is on helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than on any particular technology.
