Esnas Turnbull, BACP

Esnas Turnbull is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works alongside people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Esnas takes a collaborative, client-centered approach, creating an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment and where each person sets the pace for change.

Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper work to understand patterns that stem from attachment and life experiences. She supports clients through difficult life events such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, and work-related strain, and she offers help for issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, and emotional numbness. Esnas aims to help clients build resilience, clarify values, and restore a sense of agency in day-to-day life.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Esnas acknowledges that first step by offering steady, compassionate support. She accepts international clients and works with people from diverse backgrounds, tailoring sessions to each individual’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Esnas integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action on what matters to them - it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that developed in early relationships to understand present-day difficulties in trust, closeness, and emotional regulation - it is often helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Esnas treats that as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to combine practical skills with deeper reflection to support meaningful change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with communication, and support clients who live in other regions or countries. Registered professionals and therapists can effectively adapt these formats to provide ongoing, consistent care.
