About Esther

BACP. 6 years' experience. Esther Levy works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger and depression.

Esther uses a client-centred approach. She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on exploring feelings, identifying strengths and finding practical ways to cope with day-to-day demands.

She also uses Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, as an additional tool to help release strong emotions and reduce unhelpful physical tension. Esther describes this as a practical technique that can be paired with talking therapy when helpful.

In sessions she encourages people to name their priorities and try manageable steps between meetings. Conversations are kept straightforward and goal-focused when that is useful. The pace and topics are led by the person attending.

Esther has six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers help in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the service's booking steps.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they involve

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without steering the conversation and supports the person to find their own solutions; this can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship issues.

Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping, is offered as a practical skill alongside talking. It involves brief physical tapping combined with attention to feelings, and can be used to reduce strong emotional or physical reactions during or between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week by removing travel time and making it easier to join from different locations. They also allow shorter check-ins or telephone-style conversations when that suits the person better.
