Esther Akinola MBACP

Hello, I’m Esther, a BACP registered therapist. I provide confidential, calm and compassionate counselling and wellbeing support tailored to your individual needs. This is a safe space for you to explore your emotions, heal from adversity, and grow.

 

My work is integrative, drawing on Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural, Play, Systemic, and Compassion-Focused approaches.

 

Grounded in BACP and BPS ethical standards, I offer trauma-informed care that honours your story, recognises your resilience, and supports healthier relationships with yourself and others.

I have experience working with children, young people, adults, and families across schools, residential services, and clinical settings.

I offer 1–1 counselling sessions, available online, by telephone, or in person, as well as group sessions and workshops designed to support emotional wellbeing, personal development, and growth.​

  • Anxiety

  • Depression and Low mood

  • Trauma and Post-traumatic stress

  • Autism 

  • ADHD

  • Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

  • Loss, bereavement and Life changes

  • Self-esteem and Confidence

I also have experience and understanding of cultural nuances, neurodiversity, and faith.

Together, we can begin to unpack, unlearn, and relearn - supporting you to reconnect with yourself, and build your confidence and sense of identity step by step.
