About Esther

Esther Fendall is a counsellor who uses an integrative, evidence-based approach to help people work through difficult life events. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about things that feel hard. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual and focus on the issues that matter most to them.

Esther tailors her work to each person’s needs, drawing on different therapeutic techniques to make sense of thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and depression, and a wide range of relationship and family concerns. Esther also helps with issues such as addictions, eating difficulties, self-esteem and the strain of caregiving. Her background includes work in a medical practice, a drug addiction service and voluntary roles with a UK mental health charity.

Those roles add practical experience working with people in varied situations and levels of distress. Esther brings 14 years of practice to her counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework.

Esther speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom, also working with international clients when suitable. Esther values a straightforward, honest style in sessions. She helps people set goals and work towards them by looking at patterns, developing coping strategies and exploring how past and present connect.

The aim is steady progress that fits each person’s life and priorities.

How Esther’s approaches work online

Esther uses an integrative, evidence-based style, often drawing on cognitive and trauma-informed ideas to help people name patterns and manage strong emotions. Cognitive approaches look at thoughts and behaviours to build practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress. Trauma-informed techniques focus on understanding how past hurt affects current reactions and on gradual, stabilising steps to feel safer in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Esther will discuss options with each person and agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process that takes account of goals, comfort and how someone prefers to work, so the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Esther uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual contact, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and travel, and make it possible to continue support when meeting in person is difficult.
