About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a BACP-registered counsellor who understands how hard it can feel to start therapy. She once delayed her own therapy for years because of fear of being judged or misunderstood, so she knows the first steps can be the hardest. Esther talks plainly and aims to make the first sessions less overwhelming for people who are nervous about opening up.
Esther uses Existential therapy to help people look at the meaning in their lives and the choices they face.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to focus on present concerns and practical coping steps. Sessions tend to be conversational, with room to reflect on thoughts and feelings and to try small changes between meetings. Her approach is gentle and straightforward.
She listens and helps people name what matters to them and what gets in the way. She will pace work to match each person's comfort level and readiness to explore difficult material.
Esther works with a broad range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, grief, parenting matters, ADHD, bipolar and career difficulties. She also pays attention to attachment, abandonment and family of origin problems when these are relevant to the person in front of her.
Esther offers sessions in English and can work with international clients. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life.

Online support
How Esther’s approaches work online
Esther often uses Existential therapy to help people name what matters in their lives and to face decisions that feel heavy. This approach looks at meaning, responsibility and choice rather than only symptoms. She also uses Client-Centred methods which prioritise the person's own pace and perspective, offering empathic listening and support as the starting point.Esther treats the choice of method as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on exploring life meaning, practical thinking patterns, or both, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy in Esther's practice is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and speak in real time, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
