About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers therapeutic support in English and Turkish. Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and low mood.
Esra uses practical, talk-based work to help people make changes. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR to match the issue at hand. Sessions aim to identify patterns, build coping skills and set clear, achievable steps forward.
How Esra works
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through worries. Esra explains things plainly and sets collaborative goals so people know what to expect between sessions. She can suggest short exercises and resources to practise outside meetings when useful.
Her background includes six years working in mental health. That experience underpins a flexible style that suits people after trauma, those coping with life changes, and people facing ongoing stress or burnout. Esra also supports a wide range of related concerns such as sleep or eating problems, parenting strains, career worries, attachment and adoption issues, chronic illness and body image.
She uses short reviews of progress to keep therapy focused and relevant.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Esra works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and checks progress regularly so adjustments can be made together. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Text and live chat suit people who prefer writing between sessions or who need quick, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional wellbeing.Start online instead of waiting
