About Esther
Esther Guilhot is an AASW social worker with two decades of clinical practice. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationships and men’s wellbeing. Esther combines lived experience with long-term professional work to help people find steadier ground.
Esther offers a calm, direct style in sessions. She listens for what matters most and helps people learn new coping skills. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, burnout, addictions, grief and mood difficulties such as bipolar and panic attacks.
Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour strategies and emotionally-focused methods. These tools are used to reduce distress, manage intense emotions and improve communication in close relationships.
Esther also supports people dealing with life transitions, career stress, parenting strain, impulse control and issues around intimacy. She has personal experience of childhood and adult relational trauma, AuDHD and alcohol recovery, which she uses to inform a compassionate, non-judgemental approach.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while keeping the person’s values central. Esther helps people clarify what they want, build small changes into daily life and work towards more stable wellbeing. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session.
How Esther’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them and clarifies what matters so you can act in line with those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and homework tasks. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating and expressing needs.Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. Esther will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest one or a blend of approaches. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you learn what helps most.
The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. It can make it easier to attend during work breaks, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. The site’s booking flow asks you to match and schedule; please confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are available.
