Esmie Wainwright , BACP, NCPS

Esmie Wainwright is a UK-licensed therapist who brings professional training and a compassionate approach to work with individuals and couples. With three years of clinical experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She holds credentials with BACP and NCPS, which indicate recognized professional membership and training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Esmie tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances, focusing on respect, sensitivity, and practical understanding. Her practice pays close attention to attachment and family dynamics, helping clients navigate issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family adjustment, codependency, and patterns related to narcissism or control. She also works with those coping with guilt, shame, post-traumatic stress, and the emotional effects of separation or domestic violence.

As a couples therapist, Esmie creates a calm environment for partners to rebuild trust, improve communication, and resolve recurring conflicts. Sessions aim to uncover interaction patterns, develop listening skills, and strengthen emotional connection so couples can move forward with greater clarity and cooperation. She welcomes international clients and adapts her methods to suit different needs and goals, supporting each person to take meaningful steps toward healing and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Esmie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach is useful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and relationship strain. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel understood while they identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice for helping people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours related to anxiety, stress, and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Esmie works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to find the best match.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, work or family commitments, and clients in different time zones. These formats make it easier to access consistent support and to continue progress regardless of location, while allowing therapists to use the same evidence-informed approaches as in-person work.
