Esther Levy, BACP

Esther Levy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with grief and loss, parenting pressures, anger and the everyday struggles that come with life changes. Esther also supports people who are navigating abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, ageing concerns, cancer and end-of-life issues.

Her approach is client-centred, meaning she starts from each person’s perspective and follows their pace. Esther encourages clients to name their priorities and build on strengths they already have. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to make sense of feelings and try small changes between meetings.

Esther has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She aims to make the first step straightforward and respectful, and she acknowledges the courage it can take to ask for help.

In practice she uses talking alongside techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, to help reduce strong emotions and unhelpful patterns. The work often includes setting simple, achievable tasks and checking in on progress week to week.

People who contact Esther typically start by outlining what they want to change. From there she helps shape short- and longer-term goals so sessions can stay focused and useful.

How client-centred therapy translates to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist offers an accepting, non-judgemental space where the client's experience guides the work; this approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and coping with major life changes.

Esther also uses conversational techniques alongside Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, which combines gentle physical tapping with guided attention to emotions. Tapping can be used to help calm strong feelings and clear blocks that get in the way of progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a client's goals and preferences. That means checking in about what is working, adjusting methods, and trying different ways of working together when needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can also make it simpler to arrange shorter check-ins or to meet across time zones when international clients are involved.
