About Esther
Esther Levy helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or worn down by life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, parenting strain, anger and trauma. Esther works with people on practical coping skills and on understanding the patterns that keep them stuck.
Esther uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She follows Client-Centred Therapy, which means she puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions and listens without judgement.
How Esther works
Sessions aim to help people make sense of what they are feeling and find their own way forward. Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth. Conversations can include exploring feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small experiments or new ways of coping.
Esther may also introduce simple tools to help manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety in daily life. Esther has six years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She accepts people from the United Kingdom and beyond and runs sessions in English.
Starting work with Esther begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's timetable. She aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for people who are unsure where to start.

Online support options
Client-centred work online and what to expect
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people explore feelings and choices at their own pace. This approach can be useful for stress, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties because it focuses on understanding what matters most to the individual.In practice the therapist will invite open conversation and will follow the client's lead while offering gentle questions to clarify feelings and patterns. The work often involves noticing small changes that feel manageable and trying out new ways of coping between sessions. This collaborative way of working helps tailor the approach to a person's unique situation and goals.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging provide flexibility for brief updates, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, and allow people in different places to access registered or accredited professionals.
