Esther Fendall, BACP

Esther Fendall offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult thoughts and feelings when talking to those around them feels hard. She acknowledges that life can be challenging and often confusing, and she works with empathy and honesty to support clients as they find their way through present struggles or past experiences. Her pace is guided by the client - she helps people make sense of what they are thinking and feeling, identify meaningful goals, and move toward healing and greater self-understanding.

As an integrative therapist, 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 for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and follows their Ethical Framework and policies. Esther also brings personal experience of how transformative therapy can be, alongside professional experience in diverse settings including private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service, and volunteer work with a UK mental health charity.

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 space and peace it brings.

Integrative and Evidence-Based Support Delivered Online

Esther works from an integrative perspective, combining methods from different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person's situation. This flexible approach blends practical skills-building with emotional exploration and problem-solving to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem.

She also uses focused, evidence-informed techniques that help people develop coping strategies, manage distressing symptoms, and process difficult experiences. These techniques are applied in ways that fit the individual’s goals and the specific challenges they bring to therapy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Esther collaborates with each client to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often adjust their approach to ensure it remains helpful and relevant.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits - it makes therapy more accessible across locations, supports flexible scheduling around work or family commitments, and allows continuity of care for international clients or those with mobility or time constraints.
