About Esra
Esra Kuscu is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience. She works in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Turkish. Esra focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma-related concerns.
She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Esra uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and emotionally-focused work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing for people with trauma histories.
Esra usually begins by listening to a person’s story and clarifying immediate needs. She and the client set clear goals and try straightforward strategies between sessions. Homework tasks and simple exercises are offered when both agree they will help progress.
Her background includes work in NHS GP practices and mental health hospital settings, which gives experience with a range of mental health concerns. Esra’s stated interests include caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and attachment patterns as well as issues such as body image and work stress.
People who come for support can expect calm, practical conversations and collaborative planning. Esra aims to help clients build skills that fit everyday life. If coping after a major incident or disaster is a concern, she lists that as an area she supports and will address it in sessions when relevant.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and encourages actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories through a structured process and is used when past events continue to cause distress.Finding the right approach is often part of the early work. The therapist will discuss different methods and help decide what feels most useful based on goals, preferences and the issues being addressed. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings that suit them. Some formats work better for shorter check-ins or when less bandwidth is available, while others suit longer therapy work or EMDR protocols; check the available options with the service so you can pick what fits your needs.
