Esther Fendall, BACP

Esther Fendall creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and life challenges at a pace that feels comfortable to them. She combines empathy with honest, straightforward guidance to help clients make sense of their thoughts and emotions, set meaningful goals and move toward healing and greater self-understanding.

As an integrative practitioner, Esther draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques so her way of working can be tailored to each person she supports. She has worked in diverse settings including private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service and volunteer roles with a UK mental health charity, bringing those experiences into a flexible, client-focused approach.

Esther is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and follows its ethical framework and policies. She also speaks from personal experience of how rewarding and transformative therapy can be, and this informs a compassionate style that values collaboration and practical progress.

Originally from London and having lived for many years in Ecuador, Esther now lives by the coast in the UK where she values the space and calm it provides. She works with people facing issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges and major life changes, adapting her methods to suit individual needs.

Integrative, Evidence-Based Therapy Delivered Online

Esther uses an integrative approach combined with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, tailoring interventions to the needs of each client. Integrative work means she draws on multiple established methods and adapts them to the individual - this helps address a wide range of issues from relationship difficulties and grief to anxiety and addiction by blending practical strategies with reflective exploration.

She also employs evidence-informed techniques that focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills and supporting emotional processing. These approaches can be especially helpful for people managing stress, trauma responses, mood challenges or changes in life circumstances, offering both short-term tools and longer-term insight.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with clients to find what fits best. Together they review goals, preferences and progress so interventions can be adjusted over time to remain effective and relevant.

Online therapy with Esther is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier for people to access consistent support from registered professionals regardless of location, and to choose the format that best supports their needs.
