About Esnas
Esnas Turnbull is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and career-related concerns. She also focuses on issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, infidelity and separation.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how feelings and behaviours link together, and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns from early relationships that keep repeating in adult life. Existential ideas help people reflect on meaning, choice and values when major life changes occur. Esnas aims to match the methods to each person rather than follow one set plan.
Meetings involve listening and doing work together - talking through painful memories, testing small changes in social situations, and learning skills for managing intense feelings. She encourages short, realistic experiments that can be tried between sessions to see what works.
People who find social situations hard or who struggle with avoidance often come for support with confidence, anxiety and relationship patterns. Esnas accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Before booking, it is sensible to confirm current session formats and practical details.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety and avoidance by focusing on what matters and small behaviour changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking. This approach is often used for stress and social anxiety because it includes clear strategies and homework tasks. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current reactions. This can help when fear of rejection or abandonment affects social situations and close relationships. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Esnas will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and daily life. This is a shared process that may change as progress is made. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time. When session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm the exact options available before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, face-to-face video conversations when helpful, or phone sessions that need less bandwidth, depending on what the therapist offers and what suits the client.Areas of expertise
