About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works in English and Turkish and supports people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and other life challenges. Esra holds BACP and NCPS credentials and combines several therapeutic methods to suit different needs.
Esra takes a practical, person-centred approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify small, manageable steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change in daily life. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and committed action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma-related concerns when appropriate.
Esra has worked across mental health settings and understands how stress and long-term difficulties can affect daily routines, sleep and relationships. She uses tools and exercises agreed with each person to build coping skills and strengthen resilience over time. People who reach out can expect collaboration on goals, regular review of progress, and practical tasks to try between sessions.
International clients can arrange work in either English or Turkish, and sessions are offered in several online formats.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and make sense of strong emotions and attachment patterns. Online EFT sessions involve talking about feelings, exploring how emotions show up in relationships, and trying new ways of responding to those feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to identify their values and take small committed steps towards them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and sensations. In online ACT work clients practise short exercises and reflective tasks between sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT involves tracking patterns, testing new behaviours and using simple worksheets or exercises during and between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as progress unfolds, with different techniques used at different stages of work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for longer sessions and detailed conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring responsibilities or different time zones, while keeping the work practical and focused.
