Esra speaks English and Turkish and practises in the United Kingdom.

Esra uses straightforward talking, guided exercises and practical tasks between sessions. She explains things plainly and helps people build skills they can use day to day. Early work often focuses on safety, breathing and small steps that fit a busy life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR among other methods. Esra tailors sessions to what each person needs, combining talking therapies with short practices to try at home. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as work continues.
People who turn to Esra often want concrete ways to manage strong emotions, improve sleep, or cope with major life changes like bereavement or illness. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, workplace strain and relationship difficulties that affect everyday wellbeing.
Sessions may include agreed tasks and resources between meetings to build new habits. To start, Esra asks about background, current difficulties and what someone hopes to change, then she and the person agree a clear plan.
How Esra’s approaches translate to online work
Esra draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take value-driven steps even when emotions are difficult. EMDR is a structured approach used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and is commonly used for trauma recovery.Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that match the person’s goals and comfort level. Together they review what is helping and adapt the plan as work progresses.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make fitting therapy around family and work easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also gives space to practise skills in everyday routines and to use resources sent between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which approach and session pattern will fit most usefully for each person.
