About Esmie

Esmie Wainwright uses a person-centred approach to therapy and places the client at the heart of each session. She focuses on clear, practical conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and parenting worries. Esmie speaks plainly and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

She is listed with BACP and holds NCPS credentialing in her professional record. Esmie adapts her style to fit each person’s needs. She draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns from early relationships and how these affect current bonds.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clients want concrete ways to change anxious thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Esmie listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable goals.

She often combines longer conversations about history with short practical exercises to try between sessions. Her background includes three years of professional practice working with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family issues and codependency. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress.

Esmie offers guidance on managing relationship stressors, parenting strain, and multicultural or cross-cultural concerns. She keeps therapy straightforward and tailored to each person’s situation. If someone prefers English conversations and online formats, Esmie can work with them from the UK.

How Esmie’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people recognise patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental conversation where the person sets the pace and priorities. This approach suits people who want space to reflect and to be heard without pressure. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT online is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and repetitive negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esmie will talk with each person about their goals, background and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from a chosen location, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping the focus on real progress and practical strategies.
