Estar Wells, BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a counsellor with seven years of practice who combines conversational warmth with practical thinking. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers calm, patient support to people facing common life stresses. Estar aims to create a space where people can talk without judgement and feel heard.

Her starting point is a person-centred style that focuses on the client's experience and priorities. From there she draws on a range of approaches, including attachment-informed work and cognitive-behavioural techniques, to match what feels most helpful. Estar often uses more structured methods when clients have clear short-term goals to work towards.

She has experience with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and supports people dealing with grief, life transitions and relationship issues. Additional interests include eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions and care-related stress. Estar also lists work around body image, abandonment and attachment issues among her focus areas.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Estar offers reflective feedback rather than directive advice, and encourages clients to try small, practical changes between meetings when appropriate. She works in English and accepts international clients, operating from the United Kingdom.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Estar uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Approaches used online and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and communication in relationships and how those patterns show up now. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work, offering acceptance and reflective listening so people can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small, practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, what feels comfortable for the client, and which methods seem most useful. Work can shift over time as priorities change so the plan stays relevant and realistic.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow sessions that focus on skill practice or homework review between meetings, helping to translate insights into everyday routines.
