About Esther

Esther Levy is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She helps with parenting worries, anger, depression and the everyday challenges that come with life changes. Esther also offers support around trauma, abuse and adoption and foster care concerns. She works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Esther follows a client-centred approach. That means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. She encourages people to recognise their own strengths and to lead the pace of change. Esther aims to keep conversations straightforward and grounded so people can make practical steps between sessions.

Her background includes six years of professional experience working with emotional and relational issues. Esther uses an integrative, person-led style and sometimes incorporates Emotional Freedom Technique, known as EFT or tapping, when it fits the client's goals. She explains options clearly and checks what feels most helpful.

People often come to Esther for help with bereavement, family tensions, or coping after stressful events. She offers a calm space to talk through what is happening and to practise ways of coping that can be used day to day. The emphasis is on building confidence and small, workable changes.

To begin clients complete an intake that highlights their priorities and preferences. Sessions are arranged around the individual's schedule and needs. Esther aims to work collaboratively so people feel understood and able to move forward.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy invites the person to lead the pace and focus of sessions. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them make sense of their experience. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship worries, grief and confidence issues by building on the client's own strengths and preferences.

Esther also uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, as an optional tool to support emotional release when it suits the client's goals. EFT is used alongside talking therapy to target specific feelings or blocks that come up in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals and comfort. That collaborative process helps decide whether to try talking-only sessions, include brief exercises, or add techniques such as tapping.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people living outside the therapist's immediate area while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
