Esther Fendall, BACP

Esther Fendall is an integrative therapist with 14 years of professional experience, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult thoughts and feelings. She combines empathic listening with honest feedback, working alongside clients so they can make sense of their experiences at a pace that feels comfortable and right for them.

Esther draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors her approach to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients in developing understanding, setting achievable goals and moving toward greater wellbeing. Her practice addresses a wide spectrum of concerns including addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, LGBT matters, family issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, career questions, depression and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency, communication and control issues, and responses to natural or human-caused disaster.

Esther has worked in diverse settings including private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service and volunteer roles for a UK mental health charity. She also speaks from personal experience of how rewarding and transformative therapy can be. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows their Ethical Framework and policies.

Born and raised in London, Esther lived for many years in Ecuador, South America, and now lives in the United Kingdom by the coast, where she values the freedom, space and calm that the location brings her.
