Esther Young

Life can be unpredictable and sometimes presents us with challenge. Often at these times we draw upon our inner resources, navigating our way though the difficulty but sometimes we can find we fall short in some way and are left feeling stuck in our life situation and unsure of the best way forward. This is where the process of therapy or counselling can prove to be invaluable.

I am a qualified Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and registered member of BACP and have been working with clients for over 10 years dealing with a wide range of emotional, relationship and work related issues. I aim to offer a safe and supportive space in which to explore these issues. As a Gestalt Therapist I believe raising awareness to who and how we are in the world can provide answers to the questions that bring us to therapy in the first place and that with greater awareness comes greater choice in life as well as personal growth. Whilst both the past and the future can play a part in the problem I focus the work in the here and now as this is where there is the potential for change. I would describe my approach as relational. A strong, secure and honest relationship supports going to difficult places in the work (if required), additionally paying attention to our relationship as we work together can uncover valuable information and insight around relating that can be taken and applied to relationships outside of the therapy room. Overall my aim is to enable and support my clients through their difficulty whilst increasing their sense of self support and personal resilience along the way to better manage the challenges life can throw our way. 

I offer both face to face and online working and sessions range from £50-£70 per session 

I always offer a free 30 minute Online session for us to meet, have a bit more of a chat about what your looking for and to see if I’m the right therapist for you.
