Esther Ogilvie is a registered therapist specialising in trauma recovery, somatic embodiment, and sexuality, supporting individuals and couples to deepen connection with themselves, their bodies, and their relationships. With over a decade of experience, she brings a deeply intersectional, neuro affirming, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, education, and group facilitation.

Esther specialises in trauma-informed, somatic body-based therapy, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation and support for neurodivergent individuals. Her areas of practice include anxiety and depression, family and domestic violence, interpersonal and relational dynamics, menstrual and cyclical health, and gender, sex- and sexuality-related concerns. Through this work, she supports clients to build emotional resilience, authenticity, and empowerment.

Her body-based, somatic, and holistic approach draws from attachment theory, somatic experiencing, emotion-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based modalities such as ACT, EFT, IFS, and transpersonal therapy. She integrates a lens of social justice and systemic oppression, supporting clients to reclaim agency, embodiment, and empowerment within the broader cultural contexts that shape their experience.

In addition to her clinical practice, Esther runs and facilitates training and professional development for organisations and fellow therapists. Her training focuses on trauma-informed practice, somatics, nervous system regulation, and other areas of expertise supporting practitioners to work with greater depth, safety, and embodiment across a range of professional contexts.

Esther has specialised and has a passion for cultural and societal issues surrounding gender issues and the healthy expression of them. Her warm, grounded, and non-judgemental presence emphasises the importance of joy, humour, and play in the healing process.

Esther holds a strong commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for people of all identities and bodies—including LGBTQIA+ communities, CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) and sex workers.

Whether working with individuals, couples or groups, Esther explores conscious kink, non-monogamy, tantra, and non-violent communication—always with a focus on consent, safety, and authentic self-expression. She believes healing is a personal and collective journey toward greater wholeness, aliveness, and connection
