Esther Fendall offers an integrative, person-centred way of working that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard and confusing. Esther writes plainly and listens closely so people can find a pace that suits them.

She focuses on common life challenges such as anxiety, depression and stress. Esther also helps with relationship issues, addictions, grief, parenting strains and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with body image, eating concerns and low self-esteem, plus work and career worries. Esther has 14 years of experience in a range of settings. Her background includes work in a medical practice, a drug addiction service and volunteer roles for a UK mental health charity.

She uses that practical experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Esther is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. She draws from different therapeutic tools to match what each person finds most helpful, rather than using a single formula.

Born and raised in London, Esther spent many years living in Ecuador, South America, and now lives by the coast in the United Kingdom. That life experience shapes her calm, steady approach and her appreciation for space and reflection.

Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered in formats that suit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Approaches that can be used in online sessions

Esther uses an integrative approach and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she uses focuses on helping people understand and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep them stuck; this can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Another focuses on exploring past experiences and attachment patterns to make sense of relationship difficulties, grief and trauma and to help people feel steadier in their relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esther will discuss different ways of working and try out methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most helpful and practical for day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful, while phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or fewer visual demands are needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, people who prefer writing to speaking, or sessions that fit into a work break. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and around busy schedules.
