Estar Wells, BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a fully qualified, experienced and very human therapeutic counsellor and life coach. She holds professional memberships with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS, reflecting her commitment to recognised standards of practice in the UK.

Working from her private practice, Estar supports people presenting with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness and self-esteem difficulties. She also specialises in life transitions and major decisions, relationship problems and couples therapy, and offers help with issues such as addiction, trauma and grief.

Her work is integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and transactional analysis ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, and she adapts methods to suit each individual. When a clearer, goal-focused structure is helpful, she may include solution-focused or brief therapy elements for shorter-term work.

Grounded in a person-centred background, Estar aims to offer acceptance without judgement and to be genuine and respectful in feedback rather than directive. She works to create an easy-to-talk-to atmosphere so people feel comfortable sharing their experience. Her commitment is to a calm, patient and non-judgemental way of working and to helping people access counselling and support when it is needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Estar Wells

Estar Wells draws on several well-established therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and can help with issues around connection, abandonment and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy and acceptance, placing the client at the centre of the process so they can explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Estar works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit work into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused work while accommodating practical constraints and personal comfort.
