About Esnas
Esnas Turnbull is a counsellor who uses an open, person-centred approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety and trauma. She works with concerns such as grief, self-esteem and motivation. Esnas aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
With five years of experience, Esnas draws on practical methods to help people name what is troubling them. Sessions focus on clear, everyday language rather than clinical jargon. People can expect time to talk through feelings and to try small changes that fit their life.
Background and approach
Esnas blends existential perspectives with acceptance and commitment ideas to look at meaning, values and choices. She also uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit the problem at hand. This mixture helps with issues like abandonment, commitment concerns, and patterns that repeat in close relationships.
She has worked with people dealing with dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and immigration-related stress. Esnas also supports those facing guilt, shame, compassion fatigue and career pressures. End-of-life and hospice related concerns are included in her practice.
Sessions are offered in English and Esnas welcomes people from different countries. The focus is on steady progress, practical coping skills and clearer decision-making rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy looks at the big questions people face - meaning, choice and responsibility - and helps people name what matters to them. It can be useful when life changes, grief or emptiness feel overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions; it helps with anxiety, stress and motivation by teaching practical exercises people can use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and coping; it can be helpful for abandonment worries, commitment issues and repeating relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That collaborative process means tools and perspectives are adjusted over time to suit what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones while working with registered or accredited professionals.
