Esther Mordant

Esther Mordant is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience and a background in higher education and business. Esther offers space for people to talk about difficult feelings and to make sense of recurring patterns in their lives.

Her approach pays attention to the unconscious mind, including gut feelings, intuitions and dreams. She often looks at childhood relationships and parental family patterns to understand how they affect current relationships and choices. This can help people identify where old habits begin and what might be changed.

Esther works with individuals, couples and young people aged 12 to 21. She has experience with stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and self-esteem difficulties. Her practice also covers adoption and foster care, attachment issues, divorce and separation, and related life challenges.

She holds additional certificates in couple counselling, bereavement counselling and adoption-support counselling. Outside her private practice, Esther volunteers with two counselling charities that support young people. Her languages are English, Hebrew and Russian, which she uses with clients when helpful.

People who are ready to reflect and to work on long-standing patterns often find her style helpful. Esther aims to create a calm, open space where thoughts and memories can be shared, and where practical steps for change can be discussed.

How Esther's approaches translate to online work

Esther uses psychodynamic ideas alongside attachment-based and existential thinking to understand what matters to each person. Psychodynamic work looks at unconscious patterns, memories and relationships that repeat over time and can influence current feelings and choices. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early bonds with caregivers shape how people relate to others and manage stress. Existential approaches encourage people to name their values, face life choices and find meaning when dealing with loss or uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Esther will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which ideas to emphasise. That choice can change over time as people try things and see what helps most for their situation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to see a therapist who speaks English, Hebrew or Russian. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits often include saving travel time, being able to schedule shorter check-ins, and arranging sessions across time zones for international clients. These practicalities help people maintain regular contact with a therapist while managing everyday commitments.
