About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist, registered with BACP and NCPS, with six years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting strains and relationship concerns. She also supports clients with sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem problems, and workplace or career stress.
Esra uses a mix of commonly used approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR. In sessions she talks through what is happening now, looks at patterns that keep problems going, and practises small steps clients can try between meetings. She offers practical exercises and resources when both therapist and client agree they will help.
Her practice pays attention to family and parenting matters such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication problems. She also notes work with abandonment, attachment and caregiving stress, and with people managing chronic illness or cancer related stress.
Esra describes an initial meeting as a chance to gather background, discuss reasons for seeking help and agree how to work together. She reviews progress with clients and adjusts session length and frequency to suit each person’s needs. Sessions may include agreed tasks between meetings to build practical skills.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish, and Esra accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and she uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Esra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide which values matter most, then take small committed steps toward those values. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.She also uses EMDR for people who have distressing memories that continue to affect daily life; that approach involves guided attention and processing of upsetting experiences to reduce their intensity. These methods can be adapted for conversations and exercises in remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process includes regular reviews and adjustments based on how things are progressing.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also let people choose sessions that suit energy levels, for example a phone call instead of video when bandwidth or screen time is a concern.
