About Esther
Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. Her background includes higher education and business, which she draws on when helping people think through difficult choices.
Esther works with individuals, couples and young people aged 12 to 21. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She also offers support around adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, bereavement, and other life transitions.
In sessions she pays close attention to gut feelings, dreams and sudden insights. Esther often looks at childhood relationships and patterns that may still affect day-to-day life. Conversations aim to surface repeating themes and the hidden reasons behind current struggles.
Her style is open and collaborative. She encourages clients to share memories and feelings at a pace they can manage. The goal is practical growth and clearer ways to cope rather than quick fixes.
Esther also holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling. Outside her private work she volunteers with two charities offering counselling to young people. Her multilingual skills include English, Hebrew and Russian.
How psychodynamic and attachment approaches work online
Esther draws on psychodynamic ideas that look for repeating patterns from early relationships. This approach pays attention to feelings that pop up unexpectedly, dreams and the small discoveries people make in session. It can help with long-standing relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and patterns that keep reappearing.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy which focuses on how early bonds shape current ways of relating. This work helps people understand trust, closeness and worry in relationships and how those issues show up now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esther will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the way she works to suit those needs. Clients decide the pace and focus in collaboration with her.
