About Estar

Estar Wells is a counsellor who brings a warm, down-to-earth approach to conversations about life’s hard points. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCPS). Her style aims to help people feel heard and understood without judgement.

She uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. That can mean person-centred conversations, practical CBT techniques, or exploring patterns from attachment work. Sessions may be more structured when someone has a specific short-term goal to reach.

Estar has seven years of practice experience and focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction concerns and challenges linked to life changes. Issues like self-esteem, sleep and eating problems are within her remit too.

Additionally, Estar gives attention to topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and caregiving stress. She includes work on communication and commitment concerns when these come up for individuals. Her background in multiple approaches means she adapts to what a person needs rather than offering one fixed style.

The initial aim is to make sessions feel comfortable and straightforward. Estar encourages honest conversation and offers feedback without directing or imposing choices. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site process to match and arrange sessions.

How Estar's approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and responses; it can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships or struggle with trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and accepted, with the counsellor reflecting and supporting a person to find their own solutions; this suits people who need space to make sense of life choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to changing needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing shorter check-in times around work breaks. Online sessions can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions or when managing caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals, including the counsellor listed here, can use these methods effectively across distance while tailoring session style to each person’s circumstances.
