About Esana

Esana Ilori is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles so clients can move past survival mode and toward more balanced lives. Her manner is calm and practical, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Esana uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful past experiences and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used where thinking patterns and behaviour changes can provide quick, practical relief. She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping tools, and learning ways to manage intense emotions.

Esana keeps things simple and action-oriented so progress feels possible between meetings. Esana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She has four years of experience working with a variety of life challenges.

That background informs practical techniques and a flexible style. People often come for help with relationship strain, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. She also supports issues such as postpartum depression, immigration stress, multicultural concerns, and questions about life purpose.

Work proceeds at a pace the client chooses, with clear steps and regular check-ins.

How therapy approaches translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of past harm and helps people reduce its hold on day-to-day life. Online sessions can help clients talk through memories and learn ways to manage strong reactions in step-by-step work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them while choosing actions that match their values. Online meetings can include short exercises and homework to build new habits between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, try methods that match goals, and adjust as progress is made. This collaboration helps ensure the style and pace feel right for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter, frequent check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work, and busy days.
