Esther - Counsellor

Hi, my name is Esther and I am a Counsellor living and working in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide.

With 20 years of experience as a Social Worker and Family Therapist, primarily within the foster care system, I later qualified as a Counsellor.

Through my private practice, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, offering guidance and compassion to those navigating life's challenges.

Aside from the evidence based psychological interventions I use, my warm and empathetic approach underpins everything I do in my counselling sessions.

  • Isi

    Esther is a gentle, understanding and insightful counsellor who has walked alongside and helped me unpack my struggles with anxiety in order to begin to heal.

    Life is a journey, and Esther has been a compassionate, genuine and enriching travelling companion. I am immensely grateful for all of Esther’s care and input into my life

  • Danielle

    Esther is incredibly compassionate, encouraging and perceptive. Her wise counsel has helped me to flourish in areas that I struggled to overcome when working with other therapists in the past. Truly, I am forever grateful for her healing presence and expertise in supporting me through my emotional and spiritual journey.

  • Sophie

    What I love the most about Esther is the way she is so warm, genuine, and authentic. Coming to counselling can be daunting, but even from our first session, Esther created a safe space for me to be able to freely share, process, and reflect on the things I brought forward in a way I never had before.

    I have found that Esther is able to meet me exactly where I am at and I always leave feeling heard, understood, and cared for.
