About Estar
Estar Wells is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with adults presenting with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Her listed focuses include parenting, grief, trauma and issues with intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style draws on several approaches so sessions can feel flexible. She uses client-centred ideas to listen without judgement and lets people lead much of the conversation. When clients want clearer steps, she can add structured methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques to work on specific goals.
Estar also references attachment-focused thinking when relationships and close bonds are under strain. That helps when people are working through abandonment, communication problems, blended family issues or separation. She notes experience with addiction, caring stress and ageing-related concerns as further areas she sees in her work.
People who prefer a time-limited focus can be offered brief, solution-oriented elements alongside longer work. Sessions aim to combine practical tools with discussion about patterns and meanings in everyday life. The emphasis is on honest feedback and practical coping strategies rather than advice-giving.
Estar conducts work in English and accepts international clients. She offers ongoing support for everyday pressures like parenting strain and career stress, alongside more complex problems such as trauma, bereavement and eating or sleeping difficulties.
How sessions work
How attachment, client-centred work and CBT translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds shape current reactions. Online conversations can be used to map those patterns and practice different responses to conflict or closeness. Client-centred work puts the person's concerns first and relies on listening, reflection and honest feedback to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) adds practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts or trying small behaviour changes to see what helps with anxiety, sleep or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then agree which methods to use. That collaborative decision means work can shift between listening-led sessions and more structured goal-focused work as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of listening and practical exercises in remote sessions to support parenting pressures, relationship strain and coping with life changes.
