Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and mindfulness ideas to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving towards what matters. For trauma-related distress she may use EMDR alongside other methods when appropriate. The first sessions focus on listening to a person’s story and agreeing practical goals.

Esra offers tasks between sessions when helpful, such as simple exercises and resources to practise new skills. She keeps sessions structured but adapts to each person’s pace and needs. People can work on a wide range of issues including grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas she has worked with include attachment issues, autism and chronic health challenges. Esra’s style is calm and down-to-earth. She prefers clear steps and simple homework people can actually use.

Her goal is to help people feel more capable of handling life’s challenges and to build skills that last beyond therapy.

How Esra’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, sleep or eating issues and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Esra works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, outline what a typical plan might look like and adjust the approach as progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and allow people to continue regular sessions when life is busy.
