I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation which can help you decide if I am the right therapist for your needs.

Hi, my name is Esther and my counselling practice is based in Widnes.

Living with anxiety and depression can often leave people feeling lonely, unheard, overwhelmed or misunderstood which is why it is so important to reach out and get support.  I will work with you in order to provide that support and make sure that your therapy is tailored to your requirements.

I have a wealth of knowledge and understanding when it comes  supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, phobias and trauma. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to talk through your concerns, fears and worries.

I am experienced in working with clients who have chronic or invisible illnesses, and will adapt sessions and timings to ensure they meet your specific needs.

I am an integrative therapist which means that I can utilise different therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),  Compassion Focused Therapy or Person Centered in order help and support you.

I have a dedicated therapy room where I hold face to face sessions, but I also provide remote sessions via Zoom or Teams and telephone sessions are also available.
Whichever way you decide to have your sessions, I aim to provide a welcoming and supportive environment where you can feel valued and heard.

As mentioned, I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation so that you can decide if I am the right therapist for you.

Each session lasts 50 minutes

I offer concessions for - trainee counsellors and NHS staff

My therapy room is on the ground floor with access to a toilet.

Current availability - Tuesdays at 10:30am, 2:30pm, 4:30pm and 6:30pm

I am currently working towards a clinical supervision qualification.  If you are a recently qualified therapist and are looking for some low cost supervision, I would really like to be able to work with you.

I have my own private practice, and trained as an integrative counsellor.  I work with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and bereavement.  I also work with clients experiencing chronic illness.

I offer a supportive, nurturing and collaborative approach to supervision, ensuring that you are able to develop your skills and knowledge.  During sessions we will explore how you are working with your clients, discuss and consider ethical issues, and look for CPD opportunities that will support your practice.

I can work face to face.  My therapy room is private, on the ground floor with access to a toilet.

If you require remote supervision, I am happy to arrange telephone, Zoom, MS Teams, WhatsApp sessions.

I can arrange a 15 minute telephone session in order for you to decide whether I am the person you wish to work with.

Fees (whilst I am training)

Initial session will be free.  At the initial session, I will gather some necessary information from you.

£10 - for a one hour session
£15 - for a 1.5 hour session
