About Esther

Esther Mordant helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and grief using a psychodynamic approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience.

She previously worked in higher education and business, and brings that background into her counselling practice. Esther sees individuals, couples and young people aged 12 to 21. She supports people coping with bereavement, sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and other traumatic experiences.

Her work pays attention to the unconscious mind. She listens for gut feelings, dreams, intuitions and sudden insights that can point to underlying patterns. Esther looks at childhood relationships and family history to identify repeated patterns that still affect daily life.

She also offers support around adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, divorce and separation, and infidelity. Esther has additional experience with multicultural and immigration issues, HIV and AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and young adult matters.

Esther holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling alongside her BACP registration. Outside practice she volunteers for two counselling charities that work with young people. Her approach suits people willing to reflect on past and present patterns to make changes.

How Esther’s approaches guide online counselling

Esther uses psychodynamic, attachment-based and existential ideas to inform her work. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events, and it helps people understand how these patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape how people relate to others now, and it is useful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Existential ideas ask people to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives, which can help when someone faces grief, life transitions or questions about identity. Finding the right approach is part of the work; Esther will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively what fits best with their needs and goals.

If you want online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before you book since the biography does not list specific session types. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult.
