About Esther

Esther Enaruwe is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and career pressures. Esther works in English and accepts international clients.

Esther speaks plainly about how hard the first steps can feel. She knows worrying about being judged or saying too much can stop people from trying therapy. Her own early experience of feeling overwhelmed in a first session informs how she meets people now. That means she encourages small, manageable steps rather than plunging straight into everything at once.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centred ways of working to focus on what matters to each person, and elements of existential and psychodynamic thinking to look at meaning and past patterns when useful. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational, with tasks to try between meetings when appropriate.

Esther often helps people untangle family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, and issues linked to parenting and fatherhood. She also addresses substance use, domestic violence aftermath, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar where people want support in daily coping.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

How Esther uses talk therapies online

Esther works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions tend to be structured and practical, which suits worries like anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and coping with life changes.

She also uses client-centred approaches that focus on the person's concerns and pace. This method is conversational and prioritises building trust and understanding before moving on to tasks or techniques.

Choosing an approach is often part of the work together. Esther will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and help decide whether CBT, client-centred work or elements of existential or psychodynamic thinking are most useful. The choice is collaborative and may change as needs do.

The original biography does not state specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel. Esther's emphasis is on practical ways to use sessions in everyday life rather than on a single method.
