About Esnas

Esnas Turnbull is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue and career concerns. Esnas also helps individuals facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.

She uses clear, practical ways of working. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, noticing patterns from earlier relationships, and building simple skills for handling difficult feelings. Esnas draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to shape conversations and exercises.

Esnas keeps sessions direct and grounded. She invites people to name their thoughts and behaviours, try short exercises, and reflect on what matters to them. Work may include noticing thoughts that increase shame, practising different responses, and exploring how past relationships influence present choices.

Her approach is collaborative and conversational. The emphasis is on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract explanations. People often use sessions to rehearse difficult conversations, set boundaries, or manage stressful moments between meetings.

Esnas offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Esnas draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that suit remote work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters to them, using short exercises that can be practised between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current feelings and trust, which can be discussed and reflected on during meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Esnas works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts conversations and exercises as those needs change over time.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a weekday or work break and avoiding travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. The focus is on making therapy work alongside everyday life, using conversations and brief exercises that can be tried between sessions rather than requiring lengthy appointments.
