About Esther
Esther Levy supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing parenting challenges, anger, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. Esther is listed with the BACP and works from the United Kingdom.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Esther adopts a client-centred approach. That means she places the person's perspective at the heart of sessions and follows their pace.
Background and approach
She encourages people to identify their own strengths and to use those strengths to tackle current problems. Her work focuses on practical change as well as understanding. Conversations tend to be straightforward and down-to-earth.
Esther listens, reflects what she hears and helps people try out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions. She also uses EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, as a tool to help ease intense emotions and to move past stuck patterns. Esther explains the method and checks it fits each person before using it.
Esther has six years of professional experience supporting people through losses, family and relationship strain, life transitions and complex emotional responses. She aims to make the first steps into therapy as simple as possible and to work collaboratively so people feel more able to manage day-to-day life.

How Esther works online
Esther may also use EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly called tapping, as a practical tool to ease strong emotions and shift unhelpful patterns. She explains the technique before using it and tailors its use to each person's comfort and needs.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Esther works with people to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. It can also allow people to continue work with a therapist when they are living in another country or need to manage frequent travel.
