About Esther
AASW social worker with 20 years' experience, Esther Guilhot works in Australia supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She uses psychological approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, CBT, DBT and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions are grounded in practical skills and honest conversation.
Esther draws on two decades of psychotherapy, counselling and social work practice. She speaks plainly about common problems like burnout, workplace bullying, mood swings and panic, and she helps people learn concrete coping strategies. Esther also brings lived experience of childhood and adult relational trauma, AuDHD and past alcohol issues to her work.
Her approach mixes skills and reflection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people choose actions that align with what matters to them, even when feelings are difficult.
Attachment-based ideas inform how Esther looks at close relationships and repeated patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are introduced when emotions feel intense or impulsive. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional expression in relationships and personal life.
Esther helps with a wide range of situations, including grief, addictions, parenting pressures, intimacy issues, career crossroads and midlife concerns. She also addresses problems such as abandonment, control struggles, guilt, and communication breakdowns.
Practical coaching elements are available for people wanting direction on life purpose or career moves. To begin, readers should follow the site booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Esther commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and choose meaningful actions despite difficult feelings, which can help with anxiety, burnout and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past connection shapes current reactions, useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms such as panic, depression or mood swings.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Esther will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then try methods that suit the person. Sessions often blend techniques over time rather than sticking to a single label.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others like video for visual connection; Esther will work with the client to choose what best supports their goals.
