Esther's experience and interest lies in working with teenagers with emotional and behavioural difficulties, and their families. In the context of working with teenagers, Esther has not only found it useful to understand the specific issues faced by the individual, but also to gain insight into the interaction of these factors with the family and educational environment; thus treatment might involve the individuals, their families, and also liaising with schools and other treating professionals. Whilst originally trained in traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, over the last few years, Esther has found the introduction of principles from other therapeutic approaches to be useful, such as Bowen Family Systems Theory, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
