Estineh Roberson, BACP

Estineh Roberson is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience in mental health work. She has worked in NHS and Local Authority mental health settings and now sees adults and adolescents for individual therapy. Estineh speaks English and Armenian and works with people across the UK and internationally.

She keeps sessions simple and practical. Estineh offers a calm space to talk about stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, self‑esteem, addictions and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and more able to manage day to day challenges.

Her approach is broadly integrative and client-centred. That means the person sets the pace and the therapist adapts methods to fit each need. Estineh draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work, emotion-focused ideas and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to shape the work.

In practice she uses mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-aware care. Parents and carers will find support for caregiver stress, blended family issues and adoption or foster care concerns. She also addresses body image, commitment and communication problems.

Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick what suits them. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and encourage small actions that match what matters to the person, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations today. It can be useful when patterns of trust, closeness or communication cause distress in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels safest. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that works best. Phone sessions suit those who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style exchanges when a short update is helpful.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, and many people find online sessions a practical way to keep continuity of care.
