About Esra

Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She also supports concerns such as relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career pressures and compassion fatigue.

Esra draws on a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address distressing thoughts and memories. Sessions are conversational and focused on what helps someone cope in daily life.

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. People work on specific strategies, experiment with new ways of responding, and agree on short tasks or exercises between sessions when helpful. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needs change.

Esra trained and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are shown as BACP and NCPS. She offers help in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Esra uses therapeutic methods in online work

Esra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. ACT encourages noticing thoughts without getting caught up in them and clarifying values to guide action when anxiety or avoidance is strong. EMDR is a structured approach that works with distressing memories and can be used where past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on the client's goals and responses. The client and therapist make choices together about techniques and pace.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow work to continue with people who live outside the therapist's immediate area. Work between sessions may include exercises and tasks agreed during meetings to help apply what was discussed to everyday life.
