About Esra Kuscu
Esra Kuscu is a United Kingdom based counselling psychotherapist who brings six years of focused experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and the many shifts life can bring. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, compassion fatigue and ADHD, alongside related issues such as attachment, body image and chronic illness. Using a blend of evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR - she adapts her approach to fit each person's circumstances and goals.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, signaling registration with recognised professional bodies, and offers a compassionate, collaborative style that aims to help people feel heard and make practical changes. In an initial session she will gather background information, discuss reasons for seeking therapy, complete an assessment and work together to agree a plan and next steps. Session length and overall course of therapy vary by need - some people benefit from shorter packages while others choose longer-term support - and progress is reviewed regularly.
Between sessions she offers mutually agreed tasks and resources to help build sustainable wellbeing skills. Esra provides therapy in English and Turkish and supports both individual and relational work with a focus on practical tools and emotional processing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Esra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - practical strategies that support coping with stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to build skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and related concerns. She also integrates EMDR when trauma memories are a focus - this approach supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Esra will work with each person to explore which methods feel most appropriate for their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and she also provides live chat and text-based messaging options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, to access support from different locations and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for the client.
