Esnas Turnbull

Esnas Turnbull is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience in the UK. She aims to make the first step easier and supports people taking that step.

Her work centres on creating an open space where people can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on building coping skills, gently addressing painful memories, and finding ways to reconnect with motivation and self worth. Esnas keeps language straightforward and avoids jargon so people can focus on what matters to them.

She draws on several methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and practical strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to live in line with their values while managing difficult emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and past bonds affect current life.

Esnas also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, career strain, and issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, or betrayal. She supports people navigating grief and hospice or end-of-life counselling conversations as part of broader care and emotional processing.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The approach is collaborative - Esnas helps people set goals, try tools in everyday life, and review what is helping as therapy progresses.

How Esnas’s approaches translate to online counselling

Esnas commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on acting in ways that match their values. CBT offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and supports rebuilding safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the approach as progress is reviewed. Clients and counsellor decide together which tools are most useful for day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and it can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings easier to arrange. Online work also allows practising CBT exercises and ACT skills between sessions so techniques can be applied to real situations.
