About Esmie
Esmie Wainwright is a counsellor who uses attachment, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas in her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression. Esmie draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and meets people in English.
Her approach starts by listening. She offers a calm space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Conversations are tailored so the person can make sense of patterns and identify small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
In practical sessions she may use cognitive behavioural techniques to notice thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. She also pays attention to past relationships and attachment experiences to understand how these shape present feelings and reactions. Esmie works in a collaborative way.
Together she and the person set goals and agree on steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on clear, down-to-earth strategies and emotional understanding rather than jargon. Her background includes registration with BACP and NCPS, which are listed as her credentials.
She offers online formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and giving people space to find their own answers. In this way of working the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings and helps build self-understanding and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esmie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose or combine approaches collaboratively. This helps set realistic aims and decide what to try in sessions and between them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to offer flexible, consistent care across locations and time zones.
