Counselling with Esther Hi, I’m Esther

I have worked with young people in schools for over 12 years, starting out as a teacher before training as a counsellor. That background means I understand what school life can feel like from the inside, the pressures, the worries that quietly build up across a week and the moments when things just feel like too much.

I offer up to 12 1:1 sessions, giving you a space to be you, confidential, non-judgemental and at your own pace. Sessions are guided entirely by you, so we’ll talk about whatever you bring, whether that’s friendships, family, school, low mood, anxiety or something you can’t quite put into words yet. I can also work creatively, using things like art, writing or sand trays when talking feels too difficult.

I’m here to listen and to help you find your own way through whatever is showing up. If you’d like to come and talk to me, please speak to your Achievement Coordinator, who can refer you in.

I look forward to meeting you.

Esther
