About me
Hello, my name is Esther. I am a qualified, accredited therapist working with individuals and groups.
I have been in private practice for eight years and have also worked within the mental health sector for several years. During this time, I have supported a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds and with varied life experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, and I have experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and psychosexual difficulties, trauma and sexual abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and confidence.
I work collaboratively with you to explore difficult, confusing, or painful emotions and to support you through challenging periods in your life. Therapy can offer a safe and reflective space to slow down and explore different aspects of yourself and your experiences whether that relates to relationships, feelings of anxiety or depression, a sense of unfulfilment, difficulty getting your needs met, or struggles in expressing parts of yourself.
Together, we will consider ways to move forward, helping you to create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.
Every person is unique, and every experience is valid. You are welcome to bring whatever feels important to you into our sessions. Whatever you are facing, we can work through it together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
