About Esana

Esana Ilori is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people move past anxiety, stress and depression. She offers calm, straightforward support for those coping with trauma, relationship strain, career worries and life transitions. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.

Esana builds sessions around what each person needs right now. She listens to practical concerns and helps set small goals that fit day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Conversations explore feelings and patterns, and sometimes practical steps are agreed to try between sessions. Her work draws on a few different approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioural methods. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives when they suit a person's situation.

These approaches help untangle unhelpful thoughts, strengthen coping, and clarify personal values. Esana has four years of experience and lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs how she plans sessions and stays current with counselling practice in the UK.

Sessions can address issues such as anger, ADHD, parenting transitions, postpartum depression, immigration or cultural concerns, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loss and feelings of emptiness. People meet Esana through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

She works collaboratively to choose the pace and methods that suit each person and their life commitments.

How Esana’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when someone feels stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts while still acting in line with chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and practical behaviour changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it targets thoughts and habits that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esana discusses options with the person and together they agree which methods to try. She adapts the plan as needs and goals change, so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, reflection between meetings, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
