Estar Wells , BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a fully qualified and experienced therapeutic counsellor and life coach who brings an approachable, human presence to her work. She practises from her own counselling practice in the United Kingdom and supports people presenting with depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness and self-esteem concerns. She also works with individuals navigating life transitions and major decisions, and provides couples therapy for relationship difficulties.

Estar is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a graduate member of the British Psychological Society, and a member of the National Counselling Society. These credentials reflect her membership of recognised professional organisations for counselling and psychology in the UK.

Her method is integrative, drawing on Person-Centred principles, Psychodynamic ideas, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she adapts techniques according to each person’s needs. When clients prefer a more focused or time-limited pathway, she may include elements of Solution Focused or Brief Therapy to work towards specific goals in a shorter timeframe.

Rooted in a person-centred background, Estar emphasises acceptance and non-judgement, offering genuine feedback without directing or advising clients. She aims to create an environment that feels comfortable and easy to talk in, approaching sessions with calmness, patience and respect. Her commitment is to make counselling accessible and to provide support when it is needed, standing alongside clients as they work through change and challenge.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people explore attachment styles and develop more secure ways of relating in intimate and family relationships. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and the client's own capacity for growth - it creates space for people to be heard and to find their own solutions to emotional challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Estar Wells works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. Therapists consider presenting concerns, personal style and practical aims when shaping a plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for appointments and access from different locations. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit their schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
