About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through difficult life moments. She greets new visitors with a steady, warm approach and aims to make each person feel heard. Esra uses a mix of practical talking and evidence-informed methods to guide clients toward clearer choices and calmer days.
Esra holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and she has six years of professional experience. She has worked across mental health settings and brings that background into one-to-one sessions. People come to her for problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and depression, as well as relationship and parenting concerns.
In sessions she blends client-centred listening with structured work. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practising grounding or using movement-based trauma work where appropriate. She also offers tools to improve sleep, eating patterns, and coping during long-term illness or caregiving roles.
Esra often supports people dealing with life transitions, career pressure, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment issues, body image and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. Her language skills include English and Turkish, which she can use in therapy.
When someone starts, the first meeting focuses on background, current difficulties and planning next steps. Between sessions she can suggest agreed exercises and resources to build new skills. International clients are accepted, and session arrangements are confirmed at booking.

How Esra’s approaches can work online
Esra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when hard feelings remain. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to change feelings and routines.She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma-related work, which involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. That approach can help when traumatic memories are getting in the way of daily life or sleep.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses your concerns, goals and preferences and then recommends a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process and plans are reviewed as progress is made.
If you are thinking about online sessions, check the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some interventions more practical, such as sharing worksheets or guiding breathing and grounding exercises during a call.
