Background and approach
Her psychodynamic way of working pays attention to the unconscious and to patterns that repeat across relationships. She listens for gut feelings, recurring dreams, moments of insight and threads from childhood and parental relationships. These observations help people understand why they react as they do and where change can begin.
Esther aims to create an open and empowering space where thoughts, memories and feelings can be shared. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She values clients who are ready to work through difficult circumstances and to make meaningful change.
Alongside her professional qualifications she holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling. She also volunteers with two counselling charities that support young people.

How Esther's approaches work in online therapy
Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. Online sessions give time to notice feelings, dreams and memories that crop up in conversation, helping people trace how past experiences shape current reactions.Attachment-based work centres on connection and safety in relationships. It helps people understand their style of relating and how that affects close relationships, healing patterns that began in childhood or in adopter and foster care situations.
Esther treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the work to a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether psychodynamic or attachment-focused ideas, or a mix, best fit the situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper emotional exchange is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging suits those who prefer writing or need to fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different time zones and schedules while working with registered or accredited professionals.
