About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor with six years of direct experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works in the United Kingdom. Esra speaks English and Turkish and welcomes international clients, helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and sleep difficulties among other concerns.
Esra offers a calm, person-focused style. In sessions she listens first and asks practical questions to understand what is most troubling. She then helps people try straightforward strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Work between sessions may include simple exercises and resources agreed together.
Her background includes therapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. Esra draws on these methods to help people name what matters to them and to work through painful memories or habits that get in the way of rest and recovery.
She has experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Esra also supports people dealing with workplace pressure, compassion fatigue and relationship communication problems.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Esra aims to create a steady working plan and reviews progress regularly so people can see what is helping and what to change next.
How Esra’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where getting back to meaningful activity matters.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep-related difficulties.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing helps people process painful memories through a structured protocol and can be offered for trauma-related symptoms when the therapist and client agree it is appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals and preferences with the client and recommend one or more methods to try together. Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative and may shift as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is helpful. Specific session formats are not detailed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote work to help people manage sleep, stress and day-to-day coping without promising particular outcomes.
