Esther Fendall, BACP

Esther Fendall is an experienced integrative therapist who supports people through complex life challenges using a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She offers a caring, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels comfortable, and she works alongside clients with empathy and honest guidance to help them make sense of their experiences and set meaningful goals.

With 14 years of professional experience, Esther has worked across a variety of settings including private practice, a medical practice, a drug addiction service, and volunteer work for a UK mental health charity. Her practice is personalised to each person she sees, drawing on a range of methods so that the work suits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single model.

Esther is a member of the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body that sets ethical standards and guidance for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom by the coast, having been born in London and spent several years living in Ecuador. Her own experience of therapy and years of varied practice inform a compassionate approach focused on healing, self-understanding and practical steps toward change.

Integrative approaches for online support

Esther works from an integrative stance, combining a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to respond to each person’s needs. This means she selects methods that match the issue being addressed - for example approaches that help people manage anxiety, depression, addiction or relationship difficulties - and adapts them to the individual’s goals and pace.

Alongside integrative work, Esther uses evidence-based techniques focused on understanding past experiences and developing practical skills for the present. These approaches can support recovery from trauma, improve communication in relationships, and build resilience when coping with life changes, grief or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Esther works with clients to identify goals, review what helps and adjust the therapeutic plan as the work unfolds, making decisions together about techniques and pacing. Online therapy with Esther is offered by registered professionals and therapists via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit varied schedules and locations. This flexibility makes it easier to access ongoing support while balancing work, family and other commitments.
