About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and problems around relationships and identity. Esther also lists support for issues such as addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures and ADHD. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Esther writes openly about her own early fears of starting therapy and uses that understanding in her work. She aims to make it easier for people who feel judged or ashamed about what they have done or who they are. Conversations focus on practical ways to talk through painful memories, shame or guilt without rushing anyone to explain everything at once.
Her practice draws on client-centred ideas that prioritise the client's experience, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people consider how past patterns and personal meaning shape current feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational, with space to reflect and to try different ways of coping.
Esther works with a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, commitment and communication problems, domestic violence and substance issues. She also supports people dealing with career stresses, compassion fatigue and fatherhood-related questions. Her approach is practical, down-to-earth and aimed at helping people make manageable changes.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Esther uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, and she asks people to confirm session options before booking.
How her approaches can work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own thoughts about guilt or shame. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Esther will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide whether client-centred listening, CBT strategies or psychodynamic or existential ideas suit the situation. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The original biography does not list which session formats she uses, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they save travel time, can fit into a work break and allow easier access when mobility or location makes in-person visits difficult. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when video would be difficult, and video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation without a commute. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer a mix of formats to help sessions fit into everyday life.
