Esnas Turnbull
Practical therapy for stress, trauma and meaning
About Esnas
Esnas Turnbull is a counsellor who uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. She brings five years of professional experience and works with adults facing grief, self‑esteem struggles, career strain and compassion fatigue. Esnas aims to make starting therapy less daunting and helps people take the first steps toward feeling steadier.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on practical steps they can use between meetings. Esnas draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and still take action that fits their values.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going and to try small experiments that change those patterns. Attachment‑based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. Existential perspectives help when people are facing questions about meaning, loss or major life changes.
Esnas also uses a client‑centred stance to listen closely and follow the person's pace. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, works in the United Kingdom, and offers sessions in English. People can expect practical discussion, gentle challenge, and help building skills to manage difficult moments.

Sessions & fees
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still act in ways that match their values. It is useful when stress, grief or low motivation make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing gentle experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood. It suits worry, panic and persistent negative thinking. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, abandonment fears and closeness in relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try different ideas and choose methods that feel most useful and realistic for day‑to‑day life.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check‑ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer practical flexibility so people can keep momentum while working on stress, grief, trauma or relationship patterns.
