About Esther Enaruwe
Esther Enaruwe writes from a place of lived understanding about the hesitation many people feel before starting therapy. She admits that she, too, was reluctant to begin her own therapeutic journey - worried about being misunderstood, judged, or embarrassed as she explored difficult memories. That first appointment felt overwhelming; even saying her name seemed like too much, and she remembers the physical anxiety that comes with opening up to a stranger found online. Those early doubts about whether the therapist would be a good fit are familiar to her, and they inform a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to working with others.
Esther believes that waiting until distress becomes unbearable is not the only option, and she encourages people to consider steps toward self-awareness, self-care, and emotional growth sooner rather than later. Having experienced how daunting the process can be, she aims to create a space where clients can move toward self-love and exploration at their own pace. Esther trained and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
When the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the move to remote services, Esther embraced both face-to-face and online options. She highlights the practical benefits of remote sessions - the ability to attend from home, a car, or another comfortable place - and emphasizes that each person can choose the format that suits them best. For Esther, making help accessible often begins with a single step toward reaching out.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Esther draws from client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online work in ways that are practical and person-focused. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply, validating each person's experience, and supporting clients to find their own solutions - it is helpful for exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering structured techniques that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. When appropriate, elements of existential therapy are also used to explore meaning, values, and choices in the face of life transitions or loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is best decided together. Esther works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then adapts methods to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. This collaborative process helps clients feel more confident about the direction of their work.
Online therapy with Esther is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and accessible. These formats allow therapy to fit around daily life, reduce travel time, and offer different ways to engage depending on what feels most comfortable for the client. Registered professionals and therapists can effectively use these options to maintain continuity of care and support progress over time.
