About Esther
Esther Enaruwe is a British counsellor, registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), with three years' professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Sessions address a wide range of practical and emotional problems, including addiction, grief, parenting strain and work-related issues.
Esther writes plainly about how entering therapy can feel frightening and awkward. She understands the hesitation people feel when they first open up. In sessions she aims to make the process straightforward, starting with small steps so clients do not feel overwhelmed.
Her work uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience in focus. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with thinking patterns and behaviour linked to anxiety or low mood. Esther brings elements of Existential and Psychodynamic ways of thinking when exploring identity, attachment and past experience.
Clients are invited to talk through what matters most to them. Conversations often cover emotional reactions, daily routines, relationships and coping strategies. Practical ideas are used alongside reflective discussion so people can try things between sessions.
Esther notes that access to counselling has changed since the coronavirus pandemic. She is comfortable working with people who prefer remote contact as well as those who want in-person work. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
Overall, her approach is straightforward and centred on helping people handle immediate problems while also looking at longer-standing patterns. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than pressure to move faster than clients feel ready for.

How Esther’s approaches adapt to online work
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening to the person and following their lead. Online sessions can use the same focus on what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood even when they are not in the same room.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical tasks to change patterns. That structure translates well to remote work because exercises and goal-setting can be agreed in a session and tried between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Esther will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a client's needs, goals and preferences. She will adapt the mix of reflective conversation and practical tasks based on what the client finds most helpful.
The biography notes both face-to-face and remote contact became more common during the pandemic, but it does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the exact session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work when geography would otherwise be a barrier.
