Esra Kuscu is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people through stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and communicates in English and Turkish. Esra aims to make the first step easier and helps clients shape a clear plan for change.

Esra uses practical talking methods alongside evidence-informed techniques. Sessions often include exploring current difficulties, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of responding.

Background and approach

She offers tasks and exercises between meetings when the client and counsellor agree this will help progress. Her background includes six years of practice in mental health settings. She has experience with a wide range of difficulties such as depression, grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Additional interests include attachment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. When addressing trauma she may offer approaches that aim to process painful memories and reduce their impact. For relationship and communication problems the focus is on identifying interaction patterns and building clearer ways to connect.

Work on self-esteem and career concerns centres on practical steps and goal-setting. Esra adapts her style to each person. Some people prefer a structured plan and homework.

Others need a gentler, listening-focused space to feel understood first. Sessions are offered by video, phone, chat or text so people can choose what fits their life and routines.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift patterns that keep problems going. It suits worries, sleeping or eating problems and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity; it can be offered when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together decide what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process may lead to using one method at first and changing focus later as progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when nonverbal cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the therapeutic plan central.
