About Estar
Estar Wells is a counsellor with seven years of clinical experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers straightforward, empathetic support for people facing hard life moments. Her style is down-to-earth and welcoming so people can talk openly about what matters to them.
She uses an integrative approach, drawing on different theories to suit each person’s needs. That means sessions can look relaxed and conversational or more structured when someone wants clear goals.
Background and approach
Estar often combines person-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural methods. Many clients come to discuss stress, anxiety, low mood and changes in life circumstances. She also helps with relationship worries, self‑esteem, grief, addiction-related concerns and issues linked to intimacy and sexuality.
Parenting is one of the areas she has worked with, supporting parents who feel overwhelmed or unsure. Sessions are aimed at helping people make clearer choices, manage difficult feelings and improve how they relate to others. The work can include reflecting on past patterns, learning new coping skills and setting small, achievable goals.
Estar keeps language plain and sessions focused on what will make day-to-day life easier. People who value a calm, non-judgemental space tend to find her approach accessible. She offers video, phone, live chat and text-based options, and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.
Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Estar’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practise new ways of connecting with others. Client‑centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering acceptance and reflective listening to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Estar will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. That might mean starting with person‑centred listening, then adding CBT techniques or attachment ideas as goals become clearer.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check‑ins. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and help people keep up regular contact between calls. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, childcare and travel.
