About Esther

Esther Levy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and end-of-life concerns. She also helps with low self-esteem, parenting strain, anger, depression and coping with big life changes. Esther works from the idea that each person knows their own story and already carries strengths to draw on. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Esther uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own pace and priorities. Sessions centre on listening and reflecting to help people find clearer ways forward. She also incorporates Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping, as an adjunct for releasing strong emotions and shifting unhelpful patterns.

Clients can expect practical conversation about what matters most to them. Esther helps people name emotions, try new responses and notice small changes that make daily life easier. She frames work as a collaboration rather than giving one-size-fits-all solutions.

With six years of experience, Esther has worked across issues such as adoption and foster care, cancer, bereavement, domestic violence and ageing-related concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions take place in English and Esther is able to work with people internationally. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Esther’s approaches fit online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor asks about what matters most, reflects feelings and helps the person set small, achievable goals. It is useful for anxiety, relationship strain, grief and adjusting to change.

Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, is a body-based method Esther sometimes uses alongside talking. It involves gentle tapping on specific points while paying attention to difficult emotions, and can help people notice shifts in distress and thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esther will discuss what seems most useful and try methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around family or work commitments and helpful for maintaining steady contact during stressful times.
