About Estar
Estar Wells is a counsellor who draws on attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction and big life changes.
Estar has seven years of professional experience and practices in the United Kingdom. In sessions Estar keeps things straightforward and practical. She listens first and uses gentle reflection to help people make sense of painful feelings.
Background and approach
When helpful she introduces simple CBT tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Her client-centred background means she aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely. Estar pays particular attention to attachment and relationship patterns.
This can help when intimacy, communication or commitment issues cause repeated problems. She also works with body image, eating and sleeping difficulties and the emotional strain of caregiving or cancer-related concerns. Some people prefer structured short-term work while others need open-ended talking therapy.
Estar adapts the pace and focus to what people want to achieve. She can combine reflective conversation with clear, goal-focused techniques when targets are useful. Estar is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and holds NCPS.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and change
Estar commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. This helps people understand repeated relationship problems and build more supported ways of relating. She also brings client-centred counselling, which is about listening, empathy and giving people space to make their own decisions. That approach supports improved self-awareness and emotional processing. When clear goals are needed she may use cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises.Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Estar will talk with each person about their problems, preferences and what they want to achieve. Together they decide whether to focus on exploration, practical skills or a mix of both, and the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online work can be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone calls suit those with limited bandwidth, and messaging can provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
