People who come to Esra can expect a collaborative style. She helps people weigh options, learn skills and build routines that fit their life. Progress is reviewed regularly so the work can change as needs change.

Esra speaks English and Turkish and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. If you are considering therapy she asks you to start with a short matching questionnaire to help plan the first appointment.

How Esra’s approaches translate to online work

Esra uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing in her practice. ACT helps people notice thoughts and values, and then take small actions that match what matters to them; it is often useful for stress, low mood and life changes. EMDR focuses on easing the emotional impact of distressing memories and can be helpful for trauma and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esra will discuss which methods might suit a person's goals and preferences and make choices collaboratively. That means the plan can change if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy week and removing travel time. Online work can make short check-ins possible when schedules are tight and allow people to use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options if needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
