About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor and psychotherapist who combines practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings six years of direct clinical experience. Esra speaks English and Turkish and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that can be tried between meetings. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, emotionally focused work and EMDR where appropriate to address trauma and painful memories.
Esra helps people who are dealing with grief, depression, relationship and family strain, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, and feelings of low self‑esteem. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, career uncertainty, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and build practical skills to manage day to day challenges.
Initial sessions gather background information and set out a clear plan together. Clients can expect suggested exercises or short tasks between sessions when useful. Progress is reviewed regularly and the length of work is agreed based on individual needs.
Esra offers sessions in English and Turkish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to small, meaningful actions. It often focuses on learning to live with difficult thoughts while doing what matters day to day, which can help with stress, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and trauma responses by processing distressing material in a structured way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about using ACT, CBT or EMDR are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to follow up on tasks between meetings. It can reduce travel time and make regular sessions simpler to attend. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods for remote sessions, helping people practise skills, review progress and address trauma-related material when appropriate.
