Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic counsellor who brings seven years of professional experience to her work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often called the BACP. Her background spans higher education and business, which she draws on when supporting people through difficult moments.

Esther helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, divorce and separation, and multicultural or immigration-related challenges.

Background and approach

She offers support around sensitive topics including sexual assault, HIV/AIDS, bereavement and hospice matters. Her practice pays attention to the unconscious mind. She notices gut feelings, recurrent dreams, and sudden insights, and she invites clients to reflect on early family relationships and generational patterns.

This perspective can help explain why certain problems keep returning and how past events shape present reactions. Esther values openness and collaboration in sessions. She aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly and without judgement.

The work is aimed at understanding problems and finding ways to move forward. In addition to her core qualifications, she holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling. Outside clinical work she volunteers with counselling charities that support young people.

How psychodynamic and attachment work translate online

Esther draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how past relationships shape present feelings. This approach pays attention to recurring patterns, gut feelings and moments of insight, and can help when someone keeps repeating the same problems in relationships or personal life.

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds influence trust, safety and closeness now. It can be useful for people who want to understand attachment concerns, adoption-related questions, or difficulties in forming stable connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey and is done together. Esther will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which method or combination feels most useful. This collaborative discussion shapes how sessions proceed and what is prioritised.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you pick up visual cues and hold longer therapeutic conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier between commitments. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or written reflection when that suits your routine. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity across locations.
