Esther Guilhot, AASW

Esther Guilhot is an experienced Australian social worker and therapist with 20 years of psychotherapy, counselling and social work practice. She brings a practical, trauma-informed approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety and the everyday pressures that affect relationships, work and family life. Esther works with clients on a wide range of concerns including relationship and family problems, anger management, workplace bullying, vicarious trauma, burnout, grief, addiction and coping with major life changes.

Esther aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and new coping strategies learned. She draws on clinical methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s situation and goals. Esther holds the AASW credential, indicating accreditation as a social worker in Australia.

She also speaks from lived experience of childhood and adult relational trauma, AuDHD, alcohol-related difficulties and burnout, and now focuses on recovery and improved wellbeing. That background informs a compassionate, down-to-earth style that supports practical change and personal growth. Esther works collaboratively with people to help them build the skills and clarity needed to move toward the life they want to lead.
