About Esra

Esra Kuscu works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression using approaches she practises such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS credentials. She has six years of clinical experience working with a range of mental health concerns in the United Kingdom.

Esra offers short, clear sessions that focus on practical steps and understanding what is causing distress. She uses CBT to look at thinking and behaviour patterns, ACT to help identify values and committed action, and EMDR where trauma memories are a concern. Sessions include discussion, exercises and agreed tasks between meetings when helpful.

Her background includes work in mental health settings and with people facing life changes, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and long-term health challenges. She draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs and reviews progress regularly to adjust the plan.

Esra speaks English and Turkish and accepts international clients. She explains the therapy process at the first meeting, gathers background information and agrees goals and practical arrangements together. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

People who come to her can expect clear explanation of methods, practical skills to use between sessions, and collaborative planning for next steps. To begin, the site matching process is used to schedule an initial appointment.

How Esra uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Esra commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and EMDR. CBT is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and trying small, practical changes to see what helps. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and developing actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. EMDR involves guided attention techniques aimed at reducing the intensity of troubling memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esra will discuss options and make decisions together based on what the person wants to achieve, how they respond to methods, and practical needs. She reviews progress and adapts methods as therapy continues so the plan stays relevant.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep contact brief when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of discussion, guided exercises and between-session tasks to support progress without requiring in-person attendance.
