About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. Esther also supports those facing trauma, relationship difficulties and questions of identity including LGBT concerns and issues around intimacy and attachment.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and what led to it. Esther uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s concerns and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Esther also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas to look at meaning, past patterns and how early relationships shape current behaviour. That can help when someone feels stuck in repeating the same relationships or coping strategies. She balances practical problem solving with time to understand what matters most to the client.
People bring a wide range of concerns, from addictions and eating or sleeping problems to career uncertainty, parenting strain, grief and chronic illness. Esther notes specific focus areas such as abandonment, body image and communication difficulties when these are part of a person’s story.
Her style is candid and down-to-earth. She acknowledges the fear many feel about starting therapy, and works at a pace people can manage. To begin, clients follow the platform’s matching steps and arrange a first session through the booking system.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. Online sessions can still use this approach by giving space to talk and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It is useful for people who want to feel understood and have their own priorities guide the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and practical changes. In online meetings this often involves noticing patterns together, trying simple experiments and practising different responses between sessions. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, mood changes and coping strategies.
Esther aims to work collaboratively to find the best fit. She will discuss which approaches suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one method for everyone. Deciding how to proceed is part of the early sessions and is reviewed as work continues.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, appointments and family life. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, not needing to travel, and choosing a time that reduces disruption to daily routines.
