Esra Kuscu, BACP, NCPS

Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and a wide range of life changes. She works with individuals across relationship and family issues, parenting and career concerns, as well as challenges such as ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Esra combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, person-focused stance to help clients build resilience and move toward meaningful change.

She holds BACP and NCPS registrations, which indicate professional membership and adherence to recognised practice standards in the UK. Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR, allowing her to tailor work to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions may involve discussion, structured exercises and agreed between-session tasks or resources to help clients practise new skills and consolidate progress.

Esra offers therapy in English and Turkish and accepts international clients, providing support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. For an initial appointment she typically begins with an assessment of your reasons for seeking therapy, background information and a collaborative plan for how to work together, so you can feel heard and supported from the first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Esra Kuscu draws on several established approaches to help clients address the issues that matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps people process and reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional impact. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward a more meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Esra works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She explains options and invites feedback so the work remains relevant and respectful of the client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Esra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travel, help maintain continuity when life is busy or changing, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
