Estar Wells, BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a counsellor and life coach who blends practical talking therapy with straightforward support. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Estar aims to make sessions calm and easy to talk in so people can focus on the issues that matter to them.

Estar works with many common difficulties, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people facing bereavement, grief and major life changes. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions and work or career stress are part of her regular work. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related impacts, and eating and sleeping difficulties.

Her style is person-centred and warm. She tries to be genuine and non-judgemental, giving thoughtful feedback rather than directives. Some people choose a more structured plan for short-term goals, and Estar can include brief, goal-focused work when it suits the situation.

Estar uses ideas from attachment-based approaches and cognitive behavioural work alongside client-centred and existential perspectives. She adapts methods to the person in front of her and their immediate concerns. The emphasis is on helping people make manageable changes and understand patterns that keep them stuck.

Clients can expect a quiet, patient space to talk and reflect. Estar supports people through relationship strain, grief, career crossroads and the everyday weight of life. She accepts international clients and works in English.

How Estar’s approaches work online

Estar draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural work alongside a client-centred stance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and attachment difficulties. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Her client-centred focus means the conversation is led by the person, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and feedback rather than directives.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Estar will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when life is changing. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions without video if bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these ways of working to suit practical needs and everyday routines.
