About Esra
Counsellor Esra Kuscu is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She offers counselling for issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Esra also lists support for relationship and family concerns, parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self‑esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue.
Esra uses a mix of practical talking therapy approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy along with EMDR where appropriate. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most difficult and to build manageable steps for change.
Her style is centred on clear discussion and agreed tasks between sessions. Clients can expect to review goals and work on small actions or exercises to use in daily life. Esra notes that the length of work varies by need - some people choose short-term plans, others stay longer for deeper issues.
She has experience across mental health settings and says she gathers background information in the first meeting to agree a way of working. The process includes checking practical details and outlining how sessions will run.
Esra offers sessions in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Esra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take small steps that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps identify unhelpful patterns and test small changes in thinking or behaviour to reduce distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is another approach she lists. EMDR is a structured method that can be used for trauma-related memories and distressing experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esra will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
If you want online sessions, check which formats she currently offers before booking. The profile does not specify formats, so confirm whether video, phone or other arrangements are available. Online work can fit into a weekday break, cut travel time, or allow a quieter hour at home, and tasks between sessions can support learning in everyday life.
