About Esnas

Esnas Turnbull draws on practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She uses straightforward conversations to uncover what matters to each person. Esnas emphasises compassion and curiosity rather than judgement.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With five years of experience, Esnas blends several approaches to suit the issue at hand. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make space for difficult feelings while moving toward chosen values.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of behaving. Attachment-based ideas inform conversations about early relationships and how they shape present patterns. Sessions are delivered in a calm, down-to-earth way.

Esnas listens first, then helps people set small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. Practical skills such as grounding, breathing and simple behavioural experiments are offered alongside reflective talk. Therapy aims to relieve overwhelm and build steady coping.

Esnas also supports people facing complex relational wounds - abandonment, family of origin issues, infidelity and separation. She works with clients affected by grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, and those carrying guilt, shame or compassion fatigue. People who choose to work with Esnas can expect clear explanations and collaborative planning.

The focus is on what the person wants to change and the steps they feel ready to take. Sessions are offered in English and are suitable for international clients based in different locations.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that line up with what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help when trust, abandonment or connection feel difficult.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Esnas will talk through different methods, listen to your goals and adapt the work as you go. Together you can try an approach, review progress and shift direction if something does not feel helpful. The aim is to find a practical way forward that fits your needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible contact between calls. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, travel or different time zones and help people keep continuity of care when geography changes.
