Esther Enaruwe, BACP

Esther Enaruwe is a counsellor with three years of experience who brings a personal understanding of how hard it can be to begin therapy. She holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside a straightforward, down-to-earth way of talking. Esther writes plainly and meets people where they are, whether they feel nervous, ashamed, or unsure about starting. She wants to make the first step less daunting for those seeking help.

Esther focuses on practical conversation that helps people untangle stress, anxiety and life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She will listen to how problems show up in daily life and work with clients to set realistic goals they can try between sessions.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to keep sessions grounded and action-oriented. Esther also uses elements of Existential and Psychodynamic thinking when it helps to understand patterns from the past. She explains ideas in plain language and looks for simple, repeatable ways to manage mood, sleep, eating or concentration problems.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Esther encourages short experiments between sessions, like small routine changes or brief cognitive exercises, and discusses what did and didn’t help at the next meeting. She is used to helping people with challenges related to chronic pain, long-term illness, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career strain.

Esther works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She accepts international clients and asks people to use the platform Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a warm, accepting conversation. The therapist listens without judging and helps people find their own answers to problems like low self-esteem, grief or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, ease low mood and change unhelpful habits.

Esther treats finding the right approach as a joint task. She will discuss goals, past attempts and personal preferences, and then try ways of working that suit the person's needs. If something does not fit, she reviews it together and adjusts the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It also lets people connect from different countries, which Esther accepts. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Overall, remote work aims to help therapy slot into everyday routines so progress can continue between sessions.
