Esther Levy, BACP

Esther Levy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those dealing with life changes, parenting pressures, anger and depressive feelings. Esther brings six years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to inform her practice.

She believes each person knows their story best and notices the strengths they already have. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients find ways to move forward. She also offers Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, as a tool to work with strong emotions.

Her approach is client-centred, which means the conversation is shaped around the individual’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Esther pays attention to everyday difficulties like family strain, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Esther has worked with people affected by trauma, abandonment and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She also supports those facing ageing or serious illness, end-of-life concerns and bereavement. Her experience includes helping people cope after disasters or domestic violence.

People often come for help with guilt, shame, jealousy or feelings of emptiness, and she creates time in sessions to talk these through. The aim is to find manageable changes and build confidence for the next step.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space, reflects what the client says and helps them notice their own strengths. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship stress and coping with life changes.

Esther also uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, as a practical tool to help release strong feelings. Tapping is a hands-on method clients can learn and practise between sessions to manage anxious or overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esther will help the client decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats the service currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access support from outside their local area and continue work while juggling family or work commitments.
