About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP and NCPS credentials. She welcomes people taking a first step towards change and aims to offer calm, practical support. Esra writes in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on helping people cope with strong emotions and life challenges.
Esra draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and EMDR to guide her work. Sessions typically begin by looking at what led someone to seek support and building a shared plan. She uses hands-on exercises between meetings when helpful, and reviews progress together as therapy continues.
Her background includes mental health work in general practice and hospital settings, which informs a pragmatic style. Esra helps people manage anxiety, trauma, depression and grief, and she works with concerns such as sleep, eating, stress and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue and the stresses of caring for others.
Esra notes additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, and neurodiversity-related concerns. She offers sessions in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with session length and frequency guided by individual needs.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Esra aims to create a listening space where people feel heard and can work towards gradual, practical change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Esra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing as core parts of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories using guided bilateral stimulation and can help people who are struggling after trauma.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. Together these approaches give a mix of practical skills, memory-focused work and values-based direction.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest techniques to try. Clients and therapist check progress and adapt the plan over time so the work stays useful.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, and it can reduce time spent on commuting. Some methods, such as short check-ins or exercises at home, can be easier to slot into a busy day, while other sessions may need more time for deeper processing. Ask about practical arrangements when you book so sessions match your routine and needs.
