    About Esnas

    Esnas Turnbull is a counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons and strength to change. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and motivation. Esnas works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She holds BACP and has five years of experience in practice.

    Esnas aims to make the first step feel manageable. She creates a welcoming space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgement. Conversations cover what matters most now and what small steps could make life easier.

    Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, connect values to action, and look at how past relationships affect current feelings and choices.

    Sessions tend to focus on practical coping for everyday strain, tools for anxiety, and ways to process grief or trauma. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, relationship wounds such as abandonment or infidelity, and life transitions like divorce or end-of-life issues.

    Esnas encourages collaboration about goals and pace. She will work with each person to set realistic steps and review progress. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

  2. How Esnas blends approaches for online counselling

    Esnas uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build practical momentum. That approach focuses on gentle questions, noticing strengths and turning motivation into doable steps.

    She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and ways of relating to others.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esnas will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. She adapts tools and pacing to the client’s goals and comfort, making adjustments as progress is reviewed.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk to the service about which session types are available and choose what suits your routine and needs.
