Esmie Wainwright, BACP, NCPS

Esmie Wainwright works from a person-centred approach that puts the relationship between therapist and client first. She meets people with respect and compassion, and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Esmie highlights ease of starting therapy and encourages the step of reaching out as a brave move.

With three years of experience, Esmie focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, and problems that come up in blended family situations. Other areas she helps with include codependency, control and commitment issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence impact.

Her practice draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s perspective and goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are included to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Esmie is accredited with BACP and NCPS, and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients. Costs vary depending on location and a subscription is used for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a person taps the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to the therapist’s availability. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.

How Esmie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this approach helps people notice how they connect, respond to others, and feel in relationships. It can be useful for trust, attachment or repeated relational difficulties.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps the client find their own direction. This approach supports emotional exploration and decision making across many concerns, such as grief, parenting strain, or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Esmie will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and travel, and avoiding time spent on journeys. Online work can make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed, or to use audio-only contact if video is not convenient. The biography does not list specific session formats, so prospective clients should confirm current options before booking.
