Esther Enaruwe
A warm, straightforward counsellor for everyday struggles
About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She understands how frightening it can feel to start therapy because she once felt the same. Esther aims to make first steps easier for people who are anxious about opening up to someone new.
Esther draws on client-centred work to help people feel heard and respected in sessions.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Elements of psychodynamic and existential thinking can help people look at wider life patterns and meaning where relevant. In practical terms Esther offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines.
She supports clients from the UK and beyond and works in English. Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People come to Esther for many reasons including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship concerns.
She also works with issues such as grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Esther listens for the real, day-to-day impact of these problems and helps people find manageable steps forward. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She encourages collaboration on goals and preferences. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Esther uses client-centred work to create a listening space where the person's views guide the session. This approach focuses on empathy, respect and following what matters most to the individual and is helpful for people wanting a non-judgemental place to talk.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy - CBT - which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT is practical and helps people learn new coping strategies for problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Esther works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
