About Estar

Estar Wells is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, integrative approach. She combines practical techniques with a warm, straightforward style to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. Estar works with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues connected to ageing and geriatric matters. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.

In sessions Estar focuses on listening without judgment and offering honest feedback when it helps. She often blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking and relationship patterns. Some clients prefer a more structured short-term focus and she can include goal-oriented techniques alongside longer conversations about meaning and choice.

Estar also supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, body image and codependency concerns. She brings attention to how past attachment experiences can affect current relationships and feelings of self-worth. Practical steps and small experiments are used alongside reflective discussion to build new ways of coping.

Her background in client-centred work means she aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. She encourages people to say what they need from therapy and to move at a comfortable pace. Estar accepts international clients and works in English.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The site uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How Estar uses key approaches in online therapy

Estar often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. This approach focuses on connection, how people respond to closeness, and improving ways to feel safer in relationships. It can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and communication struggles.

She also uses client-centred work which places the person's experience at the heart of therapy. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own answers. For practical change she brings in cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and lift mood through small, manageable steps.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and adapt techniques as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to shape sessions and choose whether they want more structured, goal-focused work or open exploration.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure the arrangements meet your needs and routine.
