Esther Mordant , BACP

Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings seven years of professional experience to her private practice. Her earlier career in higher education and business informs a reflective, thoughtful approach to therapy, and she works with individuals, couples and young people aged 12 to 21.

Esther supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem. She creates a space where clients can explore thoughts, memories and feelings openly, with an emphasis on personal growth and resolving practical problems. Her work often attends to the unconscious mind - including gut feelings, intuitions, dreams and moments of insight - and she pays close attention to childhood experiences, parental relationships and any generational patterns that influence current difficulties.

In addition to her professional qualification, Esther holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption support counselling. She enjoys working with people of all ages who are committed to change and to growing through difficult circumstances. Outside her practice, she volunteers with two counselling charities that support young people.

Approaches that inform online therapy with Esther Mordant

Esther draws on psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches to understand and support clients, using online modalities to make that work accessible. Psychodynamic therapy explores recurring patterns, early relationships and the unconscious influences on feelings and behaviour, helping people address long-standing relationship difficulties, anxiety, grief and issues rooted in early experience. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds shape expectations in relationships and offers practical ways to rebuild security and trust, which can be especially helpful for adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Esther works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work as understanding deepens and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Esther is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographical distance. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and to meet clients where they are, making it easier to attend sessions, try different ways of working and stay engaged with the therapeutic process.
