About Esra

Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as relationship and family tension, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem difficulties.

Esra draws on a mix of approaches to guide sessions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred work and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on practical steps, emotion work and noticing the patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her style is direct and practical. Conversations look at what is happening now and what small changes might help. She offers tasks and exercises between sessions when agreed, to build everyday skills that fit a person's life.

Esra has registration with BACP and NCPS, which are shown as part of her professional details. She speaks English and Turkish and works with international clients.

Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. The first meeting covers background, reasons for therapy, and a plan for how to work together. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Her approach suits people who want clear, emotion-focused work alongside practical strategies. She helps clients notice patterns, take manageable steps and practise new ways of coping between sessions.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. EFT can be useful for understanding how feelings shape interactions and recurring personal reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and stay connected to personal values while taking action. ACT often helps with anxiety, low mood and getting through difficult life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to alter mood and routine. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with clients and choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made together rather than a fixed promise about which method will be used. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep appointments from different locations or when sight or mobility needs make travel harder. Registered or accredited professionals such as this counsellor can adapt EFT, ACT and CBT techniques to remote sessions and provide between-session exercises to reinforce progress.
