Esther Fendall , BACP

Esther Fendall offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where people can explore difficult thoughts and emotions at their own pace. She approaches therapy with empathy and honesty, working alongside clients to make sense of current struggles and past experiences so they can develop healing, set meaningful goals, and grow toward them in ways that feel right and manageable.

As an integrative practitioner, Esther draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors her work to each person’s needs. She is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their ethical framework and policies. Her clinical experience spans private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service, and volunteer roles with a UK mental health charity, giving her a broad perspective on different kinds of challenges.

Esther has personal experience of how transformative therapy can be, and she combines that understanding with professional training to support clients through issues such as addiction, relationships, grief, parenting, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, career problems, depression, and compassion fatigue. Born and raised in London, she lived for many years in Ecuador and now lives by the coast in the United Kingdom, where she values the freedom and calm that coastal life brings.

Integrative Evidence-Based Support Delivered Online

Esther uses an integrative approach, blending different evidence-based techniques to suit each person’s situation. This means she adapts methods that focus on understanding emotions and patterns of thinking, and then works with clients to build practical skills for coping with stress, anxiety, and daily challenges. These skills-based strategies help people develop new ways of managing symptoms and responding to difficult situations.

She also offers supportive work aimed at helping people process grief, loss, and experiences of trauma or abuse. This approach provides a steady, empathetic space to explore painful memories and feelings, while gradually developing greater self-understanding and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Esther works together with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the techniques that feel most helpful, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations. This accessibility supports consistent work toward meaningful change with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
