About Esther
Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem.
Her background spans higher education and business, and she also holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling. She has volunteered with counselling charities that support young people and brings that experience into her practice.
Esther pays close attention to the unconscious influences that shape feelings and behaviour. She notices gut reactions, recurring dreams, fleeting insights and the ways childhood and parental relationships show up now. This helps people understand patterns that keep causing pain or shame.
Sessions often look at attachment history and relationship patterns across generations. Esther explains how early bonds can affect present trust, intimacy and reactions to loss. She also addresses practical problems such as separation, adoption-related issues and difficulties after sexual assault or other trauma.
Her approach suits people willing to reflect on past experiences and how those experiences affect current choices. She also works with young people aged 12 to 21 and with individuals exploring issues around identity, immigration, HIV or end-of-life matters. For those carrying guilt or shame, she helps name where those feelings come from and how they show up in everyday life.
How Esther’s approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the influences of the unconscious and past relationships. Online sessions with this approach can notice recurring themes, gut feelings and dreams, and connect them to present patterns in relationships and mood.Attachment-based work looks at early bonds and how they shape trust and closeness now. In remote sessions this can help people see how they relate to partners, friends or family and how old patterns return under stress.
Existential ideas invite people to consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Online conversations can support people facing loss, big life changes or difficult decisions by clarifying what matters to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Esther will discuss options with clients and decide together which ideas and methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work develops.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are set by the platform and the therapist. Online therapy makes it easier to fit meetings into everyday life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions that work around work or family commitments. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy if someone moves country or needs a different timetable.
