About Esnas

Esnas Turnbull helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and work-related strain. She uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-focused work. Esnas is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in practice.

Esnas works in a straightforward, conversational way. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and notices patterns that make life harder. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking, alongside looking at how past relationships affect current feelings and choices.

Her work often begins with what is most pressing, such as anxiety, grief or the effects of past abuse. She uses ACT to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting pulled into them, and CBT to try small experiments in thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and abandonment issues are part of the concern.

Esnas also has experience with issues such as compassion fatigue, career stress, dissociation, family of origin problems, and separation or infidelity. She will discuss coping strategies and short-term goals as well as longer themes people want to explore.

People can expect a plain, steady approach that aims to reduce distress and increase practical coping. Esnas works in English and accepts international clients; she is a BACP member and brings five years of professional experience to sessions.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while focusing on what matters to them. It is useful for persistent anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of coping with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esnas will discuss these methods with clients and agree on a path that fits their goals and situation. This is a collaborative process that can change as issues are worked on and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also allow people to take part without being on camera if they prefer a phone-style conversation, or to use video when visual contact helps the conversation.
