If your therapist is willing to say that she feels work is making you worse and less able to recover and that you are unable to fulfill the demands of even part time work [16 hours], then that would help any claim.
ESA is a complicated system to navigate but if you give me your email address I can send you a guide on how to make a good claim for ESA, and you can look through it and see what points you would need to get to be entitled. If when looking at it, you can see you would fit the descriptors, or wouldnt, legally speaking, you'll know if you should be fighting to get ESA or not.
I would be prepared to have a medical, and be prepared that you may go through the assessment phase for a long time whilst they make a final decision you are happy with.
At the end though, if you are legally entitled to it, and your therapist thinks it is a good idea, you should make a claim.
