She brings 21 years of experience to sessions and focuses on grief, trauma, anxiety, and major life changes. She speaks English and Yoruba and aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful.

Her work begins with a clear conversation about what matters most to each person.

She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, and family-of-origin issues. Practical skills for managing anger, building self-esteem, and improving communication are common topics in her sessions.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals. Esther works to make plans that fit everyday life and to teach coping tools clients can use between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s values and strengths guide the work.

People often come for help with career stress, parenting pressures, eating concerns, or struggles with intimacy. Esther invites honest, down-to-earth conversation and aims to help people find clearer ways forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for grief, anxiety, and decisions that follow major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

These approaches are used together with client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It also makes ongoing work possible for people who are living outside the therapist’s local area or who prefer sessions that better match their day-to-day routines.
