Hello, I’m Esther, a children's Play Therapist and Person-Centred Counsellor based in Poole, Dorset. With warmth, calm and empathy, I offer a safe space and trusting relationship, in which children can explore their feelings and difficulties at their own level and pace; difficulties, which may be impacting wellbeing, self-esteem, family life, friendships or engagement with learning.

There is a quiet, persistent knowing when a life has become a series of inherited patterns or a cycle of 'penance' that no longer serves. Perhaps traditional paths have felt too rigid, leaving the deeper, soulful layers of your experience untouched. My work is for those seeking to move beyond the surface—those who are ready to un-weave the burdens of the past and reclaim a sense of vital, lived belonging. We look for the light that remains intact beneath the struggle, moving toward a life that feels authentic, expansive, and truly your own

Do you ever feel flooded by emotions, uneasy in your own skin, or like you’re going numb just to get through the day? Experiences—whether big or small—can remain stored in the mind and body, showing up as tension, intrusive thoughts, repeating patterns, brain fog, or a sense of disconnection.
I offer a supportive, somatic and holistic approach to help you navigate past and present experiences, release what’s stuck, and tune into your body’s story. Together, we can soften limiting beliefs and move toward feeling at home in yourself and more connected to your surroundings—with greater calm, balance, and vitality.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviours? Perhaps for years, even decades? Is the simple act of getting through the day (and night) becoming unmanageable and overwhelming? Or perhaps you feel numb, stuck, confused even? Perhaps you do not even know where to begin or what you are looking for? Are you finally ready to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace challenge, change, and desire - rejuvenating your relationships not only with others, but with yourself?

As a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist I have experience working with adults with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression and low mood, trauma and low self-esteem. Everybody experiences psychological distress but sometimes this can get in the way of us living our lives. When this happens, talking therapy can help us to reflect on how we got to where we are and explore ways of moving forward. I can help you to identify goals for therapy, offer emotional support, increase understanding and acceptance of self and provide practical strategies to help you make long lasting, meaningful change in your life.
