About Esra

Esra Kuscu is a counselling psychotherapist registered with BACP and NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish, and international clients are accepted.

Esra keeps sessions practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) depending on the issue. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how thoughts and behaviours link to feelings, and small steps a person can try between sessions.

People often come with built-up frustration, snapping at loved ones, or resentment that grows over time. Esra helps identify triggers, learn calmer responses, and rebuild clearer communication. She also works with grief, trauma processing, and life transitions so anger sits alongside other concerns without taking over daily life.

Practical tools and short exercises are commonly used between sessions, when agreed. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed. The subscription-based payment model supports ongoing work and can be cancelled at any time.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The first meeting looks at background, reasons for seeking help, and how to work together going forward.

How sessions work

Approaches you might work with online

Esra commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test small behaviour changes. CBT helps when anger links to automatic thoughts or workplace and relationship triggers.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related distress. EMDR involves guided attention and memory processing techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful for the person’s goals and try methods collaboratively. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools and adding trauma-focused work if needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, support quieter check-ins that take less time, or avoid travel on a workday. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pace, give brief between-session exercises, and review progress so therapy fits real life without creating extra strain.
