About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues such as self-esteem, relationships and coping with life changes. Esther also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges.
Esther writes plainly about how hard it can feel to start therapy. She understands worries about being judged or saying too much, because she once hesitated to begin therapy herself. That lived perspective shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She aims to help people talk through what is on their mind without pressure or jargon.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside existential and psychodynamic ideas. In practice that means listening closely, working on thoughts and behaviours that are causing distress, and looking at personal meaning and past patterns when useful. Sessions include direct conversation and practical tasks to try between meetings.
Esther also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, body image, parenting and problems rooted in family of origin. She will help people consider how past relationships shape current ones and how to build new, healthier patterns. People often come for coaching-style support alongside therapy for practical life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Esther notes that therapy can feel unfamiliar at first and encourages a small first step such as a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how it feels.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said and helps people deepen their own sense of what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, low mood, and stress because they combine talking with clear steps to try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Esther will discuss goals and preferences with the person and adjust methods as they go. The process is collaborative - the person and counsellor agree what feels useful and try things for a while to see what helps.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around study, shift work or travel because they remove the need to commute and can be scheduled during breaks. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or choosing not to use video when that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside their everyday life.
