About me

Hello, my name is Esther and I am a qualified accredited therapist, working with individuals and groups.
Having worked in private practice as a therapist for 8 years, and in the mental health sector for a number of years, I have worked with a variety of different people and experiences. I am trauma informed in my approach, and have experience with a broad variety of issues including anxiety, depression, sex and relationship issues, trauma and sexual abuse, , self esteem/confidence
I work with you to explore difficult, confusing, or painful feelings and support you through tough situations which are coming up in your life. You can use your therapy as a safe space to slow down and explore different aspects of you and your life, like issues with relationships, feelings of anxiety or depression, why you are feeling unfulfilled, why it feels hard to get your needs met, or why you find it hard to express certain parts of yourself. We look at ways to move forward and help you to live a happier and more fulfilled life.
Every person is different, every experience is different, and they are all valid. I welcome you to bring to therapy whatever it is you need to bring and whatever is going on for you, we can work through it together.

I support clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

Anxiety disorders (generalised anxiety, panic, social anxiety)

Depression and low mood

Trauma and PTSD (trauma-informed approach)

Childhood relational trauma

Sexual abuse and domestic abuse

Relationship and attachment difficulties

Psychosexual and intimacy issues

Low self-esteem and confidence

Identity and life transitions

Bereavement and loss

Stress and burnout

Emotional regulation difficulties

Feelings of emptiness or lack of purpose
