Esther Calek

I work on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 9.30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. and several evenings on Zoom. 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with a difficult past or a challenging time in your life, you do not have to go through it alone.

I am a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with extensive experience across NHS, third-sector, and private practice settings. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel genuinely heard, without judgement.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic methods—including person-centred counselling, systemic family therapy, CBT, and creative and somatic approaches—to suit you as an individual. 

I have particular expertise in grief, loss, and bereavement, including perinatal loss, infertility, reproductive trauma, and pregnancy after loss (Rainbow Baby pregnancies). I understand how deeply these experiences can affect emotional wellbeing, identity, and relationships, and I offer sensitive, informed support to help you process and cope. I also work extensively with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. 

My clinical experience includes working in private practice since 2018, supporting clients with grief, bereavement, perinatal loss, infertility, trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, body image, sexuality, and relationship difficulties. I previously worked within hospital settings at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust as a bereavement counsellor, supporting individuals and families through perinatal loss, sudden and traumatic death, anticipatory grief, and complex bereavement.

I also have experience as a school and student counsellor in both secondary schools and university settings, as well as a family support worker supporting safeguarding and at-risk families.

Above all, I aim to provide a compassionate, thoughtful space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences and find a way forward that feels right for you. 

I am registered with AXA, WPA and Vitality Health as a provider. 

I work from modern, bright, purpose built therapy rooms situated in Prestwich, North Manchester. You can view more details of the Centre and pictures at https://prestwichholisticcentre.co.uk/

The Centre  has purpose built therapy rooms which are quiet, peaceful and calm. There is unlimited parking in the surrounding streets and the Centre is easily accessible by public transport. 

I am usually able to see clients within a week of being contacted. 

Your first session will include an introduction to counselling and I will explain my own qualifications and experience. There will be a couple of questionnaires and some paperwork to fill out. We will then have time to talk about what has brought you to counselling and your goals for therapy. I will give you a contract to take home and following our session, you can decide whether you would like to sign the contract and go ahead with therapy. 

I look forward to meeting you and please feel free to contact me with any queries.
