Esther Fendall , BACP

Esther Fendall offers calm, practical support for people facing difficult life moments and emotional challenges. She creates a caring, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable, working alongside them with honesty and empathy to make sense of current struggles and past experiences.

Her approach is person-centred and flexible - she tailors sessions to the needs of each person while helping them identify goals, develop coping strategies and build understanding that supports healing and growth. As an integrative practitioner she draws on a range of therapeutic methods, selecting evidence-based techniques that suit the client and the issue being addressed.

Esther is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and follows its Ethical Framework and policies. Her professional background includes work in private practice, a medical practice setting, a drug addiction service and volunteer roles with a UK mental health charity, giving her experience across different clinical environments.

Born and raised in London, Esther lived for many years in Ecuador and now lives in the United Kingdom by the coast, where she values the space and tranquillity that support her wellbeing.

Integrative Techniques and Remote Support

Esther works from an integrative foundation, combining ideas and tools from different therapeutic models to suit each person's situation. This means she pieces together approaches that help people process emotions, improve relationships and manage life changes in a way that fits their needs and pace.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, focusing on methods supported by research to address issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and trauma. These practical techniques typically involve exploring patterns, building coping skills and setting achievable goals to support progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Esther will discuss options with each client, taking into account their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, to arrive at a plan that feels appropriate and sustainable.

Online therapy with Esther can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, support continuity during transitions, and enable people in different locations to access licensed professionals and therapists who can help them work toward meaningful change.
