Esther Mordant

Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience and a background in higher education and business. Esther offers a calm, curious presence for people facing difficult life changes, including separation and divorce.

Esther works with individuals, couples and young people aged 12 to 21. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She also addresses issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, immigration and multicultural concerns.

Her approach pays attention to the unconscious side of experience. She notices gut feelings, dreams, intuitions and the small moments that can lead to insight. Esther often explores childhood relationships and patterns that repeat across generations.

Sessions aim to be open and empowering. Conversations are used to understand what is getting in the way and to find new ways forward. She also holds certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling.

Outside her practice, Esther volunteers with two counselling charities that support young people. Her language skills include English, Hebrew and Russian, and she accepts international clients. Booking is arranged through the site process where a short questionnaire helps match clients before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns that began in early relationships and often looks at how those patterns show up now. It can help people understand repeating difficulties and the feelings beneath them. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how bonds with caregivers shape current relationships and helps people strengthen connection and trust in their close relationships.

Existential therapy invites people to face life’s big questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, unsure about the future, or is grieving major life changes such as separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Sessions begin by looking at the person's needs, goals and preferences, and the approach can be adapted over time as priorities change.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person methods. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting time spent travelling, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or making it easier to attend when arranging childcare or work breaks. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote work practical and useful, and Esther will discuss how to shape sessions so they fit day-to-day life.
