About Esther
Esther Levy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and anger. She also supports people facing life changes and parenting challenges.
Esther sees clients as the experts in their own story. She focuses on building practical ways to manage difficult feelings and increase everyday coping. In sessions she talks through what is most pressing and helps people notice their existing strengths.
Her approach centres on client-centred therapy. That means sessions follow the individual's pace and priorities, with the counsellor reflecting back what matters most. Esther also uses Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, as a tool to help people work with strong emotions and unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Esther helps people make small changes they can use outside the room, such as breathing strategies, brief exercises and ways to shift unhelpful thoughts. She explains techniques in simple language and checks they fit the person's life.
People contact Esther for practical help with anger that shows up at home or work, for anxiety that makes day-to-day tasks harder, and for grief or life transitions that feel overwhelming. She asks a few questions at the start to shape the first sessions and agrees goals the client can work towards.
Client-centred approaches and online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client's priorities so sessions address immediate problems such as anger, anxiety or grief. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk things through and choose the next steps.Emotional Freedom Technique is another method Esther uses. It combines gentle tapping with attention to upsetting thoughts or memories, aiming to reduce emotional intensity. People use it for sudden surges of anger, anxiety or for easing distress linked to past events.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Esther will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques can change as progress is made, and decisions are made together.
Check the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If international scheduling is needed, take care with time zones when arranging sessions.
