About Esra
BACP, NCPS, 6 years' experience. Esra Kuscu works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Turkish. She supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, as well as practical life changes and career concerns.
Esra uses several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). In sessions she talks through what is causing difficulty, helps people learn new ways to cope, and offers exercises to practise between meetings. She explains options and discusses a plan together at the start of work.
Her background includes six years of practice in mental health. Esra describes working with people facing relationship and family issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger and self-esteem difficulties, and concerns such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and communication problems.
Esra says she provides tasks and resources between sessions by agreement. Session length and number vary with a person’s goals; some people choose shorter blocks of six to twelve sessions while others continue longer term and review progress together.
To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to select an online counselling option, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees are stated to vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change thinking and behaviour patterns and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esra will discuss different methods and choose options together based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens early and can be reviewed as therapy progresses. Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins during a lunch break or to use video or audio in ways that suit the person; confirm which formats are offered before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy workable around everyday life while using the approaches above to address symptoms and goals.Areas of expertise
