Dr Esther Sarquah
Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Let’s be real — life is hard and rarely straightforward, and our needs and challenges can be even more complex. Some people may not know where to begin, while for others, the cause feels clear. Wherever you find yourself, I’m here to help. As a Clinical Psychologist, I’ve gained extensive experience working across NHS, community, and specialist services. These experiences have equipped me to support a wide range of individuals — from those wanting to build confidence in a specific area of life, to those navigating more complex and enduring mental health difficulties.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. Reaching out is a brave first step toward change. You may be here because of a difficult past. Perhaps your childhood left you feeling hurt, or you’ve always felt like you don’t quite fit in. Maybe you find yourself overcompensating in social situations, questioning your worth, or wondering what’s “wrong” with you. Do you often feel anxious, struggle to relax around others, or experience emotions like anger, jealousy, or sadness without fully understanding why?

Have you lost someone you love, and found it hard to know how to carry on? Grief can be one of the most painful and isolating experiences we face, and it takes courage to reach out. I want you to know you don't have to go through it alone. I am a qualified Forensic and Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC, with extensive experience across the NHS and private practice. I offer a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can be fully heard, and begin to find your way through loss at a pace that feels right for you. There is no timeline and no right way to grieve. Our work is not about forgetting or "moving on."

If anxiety, self-doubt or a constant sense of unease has become part of your everyday life, it can feel as though you're always on edge. You might find yourself trying hard to keep others happy, putting your own needs last or listening to an inner voice that is rarely kind. Perhaps difficult past experiences still affect you in ways that don't fully make sense. Some situations might leave you feeling unexpectedly overwhelmed or out of control. Over time, all of this can leave you feeling disconnected; from others, and from your sense of yourself. If this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping.
