About Estar

Estar Wells helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and life changes, using an integrative counselling approach that adapts to each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling Society, and has seven years' experience.

Wells uses a mix of methods to meet practical aims and to explore deeper patterns. She often draws on client-centred work to focus on the person in the room, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when clients want clear strategies for mood or worry. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship and intimacy issues.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens, gives feedback and helps people set realistic steps when they want more structure. Some people choose a shorter, goal-focused approach; others prefer more open-ended talking over time.

Wells' experience includes helping with depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, and career or parenting concerns. She also works with matters such as abandonment, body image, codependency and blended family issues.

Her practice supports clients facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns and ageing and geriatric issues. The focus is on clear, practical ways to cope as well as understanding patterns that affect relationships and everyday life.

How Estar Wells uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Estar Wells draws on attachment-based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that translate to remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connections affect current trust and intimacy. This can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical steps and clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It suits people wanting concrete tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating-related problems and for managing stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Wells will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will agree a way of working together that fits the client's needs. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions while based outside the UK, subject to practical arrangements agreed at the start.
