Estar Wells , BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and life coach who brings professional training and a humane, approachable manner to her practice. She 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 (NCPS) - memberships that reflect recognised professional standing within UK counselling communities.

Working from her own practice, Estar supports people facing a wide range of issues including depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness and low self-esteem. She especially focuses on life transitions, important decisions and relationship difficulties, and she also offers couples therapy for partners seeking to improve connection and communication.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, transactional analysis and cognitive-behavioural ideas so that therapy is tailored to each person’s needs. For clients with specific, time-limited goals she may incorporate solution-focused or brief therapy techniques to add structure and momentum.

Estar’s person-centred roots mean she emphasises acceptance and genuineness, offering honest feedback while avoiding directive advice. She aims to create a calm, patient and non-judgemental space where people can talk freely and work toward meaningful change when counselling is needed.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Estar draws on several complementary approaches that translate well to remote work. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the work; it helps with self-esteem, life transitions and emotional processing. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional needs formed in close relationships, helping people address abandonment, intimacy struggles and attachment issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Estar works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and the difficulties they bring, adapting techniques over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it possible to attend regular therapy from home or while traveling, reduce time spent on travel, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with a licensed professional.
