She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and follows its Ethical Framework. Esther spent many years living abroad in Ecuador and now lives in the UK by the coast, where she values quiet and space. Her background shapes a calm, direct style that many people find easy to engage with.
People who come to work with her often want help making sense of difficult feelings, coping with life changes, or improving communication and relationships. Initial work often looks at immediate concerns and then turns to practical steps to reduce stress and build clearer long-term plans.
How Esther uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Esther describes her practice as integrative, which means she blends therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. Two commonly used evidence-based techniques are described here. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real experience to reduce anxiety and low mood. They can be helpful for social anxiety and stress related thinking.Another helpful approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. This kind of work helps people notice repeated interaction styles, improve communication and understand how past experiences influence current reactions, which can ease relationship strains and issues around abandonment or caregiving stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Esther will discuss options with the client and together they decide what to try, based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adapting techniques as needed.
