Welcome!

About Me

I’m Esther, a qualified integrative counsellor working with adults. My approach is holistic, compassionate, natural and soul-centred; supporting the emotional, physical, and spiritual parts of who you are. Whether you’re feeling burnt out by life’s pressures, wrestling with old wounds, feeling lost, or yearning for a deeper sense of meaning and self-connection, I’m here to walk alongside you at your pace.

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey. My style is intuitive yet grounded; I work flexibly in a person-centred way, but draw from transpersonal and depth psychology, mindfulness, somatic awareness, eco-psychology, Gestalt, parts work, creative expression, and psychospiritual exploration to meet your unique needs. Sometimes we need to explore old difficulties in new ways to find insight. I believe healing and experiencing wholeness can happen when we are truly seen, accepted, recognised and deeply heard without judgement, pressure or performance.

I previously worked within Mind and the NHS in a Wellbeing Team. I have an Enhanced DBS, am a Suicide and Mental Health First Aider and I am also a Permaculture Design Certificate graduate. 

A Soul-Centred Space

This work is very sacred to me; I have been there too. My own experience of being supported through a "Dark Night of the Soul" by some incredible, heart-centred therapists was transformative. I know just how much courage it takes to begin this process of change and it is a huge privilege to walk alongside the deeply meaningful journeys of others. This is not to say I have all the answers.

My core training is person-centred, psycho-spiritual counselling. Spiritual counselling doesn’t mean religious, although everyone is welcome. It means working with your whole being: body, mind, and soul. It involves honouring and attuning to your intuition, your story and hearing your innate wisdom. It recognises life as deeply interconnected, and healing as a journey of integration, reconnection, and remembering and rediscovering who you are.

At the core of my practice is the belief that each person holds a drive toward wholeness, growth and meaning. I offer a safe, accepting, open and affirming space where all parts of you are welcome: joy, despair, confusion, anger, hope, hopelessness, numbness, peace.. You might talk, cry, laugh, rage, be silent, reflect, or want to create. We will follow what feels true for you and explore ways to express it, which can lead to insights and spaciousness in your inner world.

If it supports your process, we may explore somatic awareness, visualisation, mindfulness, books, dreamwork, ritual, imagery, creative practices or symbolic work.

I offer walk and talk therapy, for those who feel drawn to the grounding that nature connection can bring. Nature is beautifully stabilising and non-verbal; a mirror with rhythm and cycles and a reminder of your place in the larger web of life.

I am running a woodland based group, called Wild Self, where mindfulness, fire circles, practical bushcraft skills and re-awakening to nature, each other and ourselves is combined. If this speaks to you, please do get in touch or have a look on my website.

I offer both in-person and online sessions, as well as phone and walk and talk options depending on what feels most supportive for you. Our first meeting is a free 20-minute phone consultation where you can ask questions, share what brings you to therapy and get a feel for how I work. From there, we can see if we’re the right fit; there’s no pressure to commit. 

If I am aware of a specialised service or therapist that may be more helpful for you, I will also discuss this with you.

I have quiet, cosy rooms in Ashley Heath and Bournemouth.

This is your space and your journey. If you feel drawn to take the next step, it would be an honour to walk beside you!
