About Esnas

Esnas Turnbull is a counsellor who uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and work-related wellbeing. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. Esnas speaks English and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience to her practice.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client. Esnas draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape each session.

She helps people break problems into manageable steps and practises simple skills in the room. That might include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying a different response to a difficult memory, or testing small behaviour changes between sessions. The pace is set by the person coming to therapy.

Esnas also works with issues around relationships and personal history, including attachment concerns, family of origin issues, abandonment and infidelity. She offers support for people coping with domestic violence, separation and the loss that follows major life changes.

Starting therapy involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Esnas will work with each person to find practical steps they can use in everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low motivation and stress related to work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping; this is often useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be helpful for people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Esnas will discuss different ways of working and will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. The course of therapy can change as needs change, and decisions are made together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a break at work or to continue therapy when relocation is needed. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm available formats before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
