About Esnas
Counsellor and BACP member Esnas Turnbull has five years of professional experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, compassion fatigue and career concerns.
Esnas uses a mix of approaches to help people address difficulties in day-to-day life. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to look at thinking patterns and practical coping steps. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take small actions that matter to them.
In sessions she works in a client-centred way, listening first and responding to what the person brings. Attachment-based ideas inform her work where relationships and past family patterns are relevant. She aims to keep language plain and to focus on what can change now.
Esnas has worked across issues such as abandonment, attachment issues, commitment concerns and infidelity. She also supports people dealing with dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. End-of-life and hospice related concerns are part of her experience too.
People often come for help with guilt and shame, emptiness, coping after disasters, immigration and career stress. She will talk through what is most pressing, and agree practical next steps to try between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Esnas can work with people internationally. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment to see how the working style fits.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Esnas uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. She also works with acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Esnas will discuss what feels most useful, explain different methods in plain terms and adapt the way she works to reflect the person's goals and preferences.
Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use video or phone options where quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are priorities. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which format will suit the practical needs and aims of the person seeking support.
