She also helps with relationship issues, anger, ADHD-related difficulties and questions about life purpose.
Additional focus areas include multicultural concerns, immigration-related challenges and struggles with guilt, shame or feelings of emptiness. Esana offers a straightforward, compassionate way of working. She supports people to try new coping skills, work through painful memories and build practical plans for day-to-day life.
How Esana’s approaches work online
Esana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for valued action. ACT focuses on what matters to the person and helps build small, usable steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thought and behaviour patterns that keep stress and anxiety high; it offers clear techniques for changing those patterns and testing what works in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Esana will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as needed. She works with each person to decide whether acceptance strategies, cognitive tools or a person-centred conversation fits best for their current concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit into a work break or low-bandwidth situation, and messaging options allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible, so people can access regular help around work, family and daily routines.
