About Estar
Estar Wells offers an integrative, person-centred way of working that puts the client at the centre of therapy. She draws on several approaches to meet specific needs, and she aims to create a calm, patient and non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.
Estar is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of the National Counselling Society, NCPS. She has seven years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
Her practice also covers relationship difficulties, self-esteem, life transitions, addictions and a broad range of other concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens without judgement and gives honest feedback rather than direct instructions.
Some people choose a more structured path for a clear short-term goal, while others prefer a looser, exploratory pace. Estar combines person-centred work with elements from cognitive behavioural approaches and attachment-based ideas when they fit the person's needs. She also draws on existential perspectives and methods from the Gottman approach when relationship patterns are central to the work.
Sessions are framed around what each person wants to achieve, whether that is coping with change, managing anxiety or rebuilding confidence. Estar encourages practical steps and reflective conversation so people can try things between sessions and notice what changes. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English.
Prospective clients are invited to follow the platform process to match with her and arrange their first session.

How Estar works online
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will decide which approaches to try. This collaborative planning means the method can change as needs evolve.
Because the biography did not specify session formats, please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break or offering options when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing so that progress continues between sessions.
