About Estar

Estar Wells is a counsellor with seven years' experience who uses a person-centred, integrative style. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and she also supports those dealing with grief, addiction and self-esteem difficulties. Estar is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the National Counselling Society. She sees clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, offering help in English.

Estar draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs rather than using a single method. That means sessions can be gently client-led, or more structured when someone wants clear steps and goals. She uses techniques that focus on attachment patterns, practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioural approaches, and an empathic, person-centred stance that values the client's perspective.

In practice Estar helps people talk through life changes, commitment worries, intimacy-related concerns and aspects of body image or eating. She also works with career stress, caregiver strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions often focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and building small, achievable coping steps.

Her background includes work with bereavement, trauma and abuse, as well as issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties. Estar aims to create a calm, patient and non-judgemental space where people can reflect and make practical changes. She describes herself as genuine and straightforward, offering feedback rather than directive advice.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the schedule offered. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Estar's approaches translate to online work

Estar often blends attachment-focused ideas with client-centred care. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships, helping people understand patterns that affect trust and intimacy. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening, acceptance and the client's pace, giving people space to make their own changes.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when practical steps are needed. CBT-style work looks at thoughts and behaviours linked to anxiety or low mood, and supports building small experiments and coping strategies to test new ways of behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Estar discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts her style accordingly. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to focus more on understanding relational patterns, skill-building, or a mix of both.

The benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to access a therapist while living in another area or country. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals commonly work with people online to help them manage stress, relationships and life transitions.
