I am a psychodynamic therapist. I am registered with the BACP in the UK and have 7 years of professional work experience. My background is in higher education and business.
I work with individuals, couples and young people (aged 12-21). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and empowering environment where thoughts, memories and feelings can be shared freely. The emphasis is on growth and problem resolution in a safe and supportive environment.
I work with the unconscious mind, so pay a lot of attention to such things as gut feelings, intuitions, dreams and moments of insight we all get. I am interested in my clients' childhoods and relationships with their parental families, as well as any generational patterns or traumas they share with them.
I love working with people of all ages who are committed to change and to making a difference in their own lives, people in trying circumstances who are committed to overcoming them and growing through them.
I hold certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling in addition to my professional qualifications. When I am not working at my private practice I am volunteering for two counselling charities helping young people.
Additional areas of focus: Adoption and foster care, Attachment issues, Divorce and separation, Guilt and shame, HIV / AIDS, Hospice and end-of-life counseling, Immigration issues, Infidelity, Multicultural concerns, Post-traumatic stress, Sexual assault and abuse, Women's issues, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Attachment-Based Therapy, Existential Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy

I have been meeting with Esther for a year now. Throughout this time, I have received support, a listening ear, acceptance, advice, and guidance. My sessions with Esther provide a safe space where I can speak openly about anything, free from judgment or criticism. I feel that her advice is tailored to who I am—to my needs, desires, and dreams. Her ability to understand me and allow me to be myself is invaluable to me.

Three sessions on and it has helped tremendously. Insides I have deeply suspected are brought to the surface to be dealt with. This is really helping! A very good match!

I am seeing Esther for few months now, I have to wholeheartedly share that she is extremly supportive, patient and wise. She is everything I ever looked for in my therapist and I truly feel like she is helping me understand myself better and how to carry myself in life. She knows the best thing to say and everything she says really stays with me as I carry it to my day to day life as I try to apply all her words of wisdom for me. I look forward every week for our weekly meeting and I am very happy to have found her and to have her as part of this meaningful journey I am on, thanks to her. I truly reccomand her from the bottom of my heart and feel priviliged to have her as my therapist.
