About Esther
Esther Fendall is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has 14 years of experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the practical strains of life changes. Esther also works with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting stress and concerns linked to identity and LGBT matters.
Esther describes herself as honest and attentive in sessions. She aims to help people make sense of what they are thinking and feeling. Together, she and the person will set straightforward goals and work at a pace that feels manageable.
Her work draws on an integrative approach, using a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. That flexibility lets Esther focus on immediate problems like stress and low mood, and on longer-standing issues such as trauma, attachment or past loss.
Esther has worked in several settings including private practice, a medical practice and a drug addiction service. She has also volunteered for a UK mental health charity, which adds to her experience with different kinds of practical and emotional difficulty.
Born and raised in London, she spent many years living in Ecuador and now lives on the UK coast. That background influences her outlook and how she relates to people from varied lives. For anyone juggling study, early career pressures, relationship strain or the aftermath of loss, she offers straightforward support to talk things through and plan next steps.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Esther works from an integrative base and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. For example, structured problem-solving focuses on breaking down stressors and building small practical steps to handle them. This approach suits young adults dealing with work, study or financial pressure.Another common strand is trauma-informed talking that helps people make sense of painful past events and how those events affect current relationships and feelings. That can be useful for people coping with loss, attachment issues or recovery from addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which techniques to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.
