About Esther
Esther Levy is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people navigating parenting pressures and major life changes.
Esther focuses on listening carefully and following the person's lead. She approaches conversations with the assumption that people know their own story and already have strengths to draw on. That means sessions are practical and paced to what the client can manage at the time.
In sessions she talks through day-to-day difficulties, such as coping with loss, managing anxious thoughts, or rebuilding confidence after a setback. She also addresses concerns that affect family life, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, and the stress that comes with caring for ageing relatives.
Esther uses client-centred methods and also employs Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, as a tool to help release strong emotions and reduce unhelpful internal barriers. She explains techniques simply and practices them alongside conversation so people can try them in the session.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people work out small steps they can try between meetings. If you want to see how talking and simple exercises might help with home strain or parenting stress, Esther will guide that process and help plan next steps.
How sessions work
How Esther applies client-centred work online
Esther uses client-centred therapy online, which means the conversation centres on what matters most to the person. The counsellor listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the client notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is helpful for worries about relationships, parenting strain, low self-esteem and stress.She also offers Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, explained in simple steps. EFT involves gentle tapping paired with focused breathing and short verbal prompts to help reduce intense emotion. People commonly use it for anxiety, grief and reactions tied to past experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That conversation can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people practise techniques at home between meetings and carry on with family routines while getting regular support.
