About Esther

Esther Levy is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and grief. Esther aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

She works from a client-centred perspective, which means she centres conversations on the person sitting in front of her. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and building on the client’s own strengths.

Background and approach

Esther believes people know their story best and draws out coping strategies they already have. Esther has helped people cope with life changes, parenting pressures, anger and depression. She also has experience with trauma and abuse, family problems, abandonment issues, adoption and fostering concerns, and end-of-life and hospice related distress.

Other areas she addresses include cancer, ageing and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, loneliness, guilt and shame, and communication problems. When appropriate, Esther uses Emotional Freedom Technique - often called EFT or tapping - alongside her client-centred work. She explains practical steps and offers simple exercises clients can try between sessions.

Her aim is to make therapy feel like a collaborative process rather than a one-way prescription. Esther is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and conducts work in English. She welcomes people from the UK and internationally and works online using a range of session formats.

How Esther’s client-centred approach works online

Esther primarily works from a client-centred framework. That means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s lead and helps people discover practical ways forward. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship issues and self-esteem concerns because it focuses on what the person finds most important.

She may also use Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, as an additional tool. EFT involves gentle tapping on a few points while talking through emotions and can be offered as a short exercise during sessions to help reduce emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther discusses options with clients and chooses methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s comfort level.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a spoken check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter updates or flexible contact that can fit around work and family life. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
