About Estar

Estar Wells is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and evidence-informed approaches to help people manage life stressors. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns, and offers support for people coping with loss, trauma and major life changes. Estar is a BACP member and holds NCPS accreditation, and she brings seven years of practice experience to her work.

In sessions she prioritises a straightforward, non-judgemental stance. Conversations are calm and direct, and she gives honest feedback while avoiding directive advice. That practical, human tone is intended to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing experiences.

Estar uses a flexible approach, pulling from attachment-based thinking, client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques where they suit the person. She adapts the level of structure to the goals someone brings - some people want clear, short-term steps, others prefer open exploration.

Her practice includes work around relationships and intimacy, addiction concerns and issues related to grief and caregiving stress. She also supports men’s wellbeing, addressing topics such as career strain, anger, body image and communication problems.

Estar works with people who want practical ways to cope as well as those seeking to understand patterns from earlier life and attachment. She aims to create a patient, accepting space where people can talk things through and try new ways of managing day-to-day challenges.

How Estar’s approaches translate to online work

Estar draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to create a warm, accepting tone in therapy. Attachment-based ways of working look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help when people struggle with trust or recurring relationship problems. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions, and it suits folks who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to think things through.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when a clearer structure is helpful. CBT offers practical tools to test out unhelpful thoughts and build small behaviour changes, which many people find useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Estar will work collaboratively to choose the mix that best fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.

If you are considering online therapy with her, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy is simpler to sustain. Registered and accredited professionals, including this therapist, aim to help people make practical progress through conversations adapted to everyday life.
