About Estar
Estar Wells is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She has seven years of experience working with people who bring stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns and life changes.
She uses a mix of approaches and can work in a structured way when people want clear, short-term goals. That might include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas when relationships and patterns from the past are relevant.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps as well as understanding what keeps a problem going. For someone struggling with sleep, eating, or coping under stress, she might combine thought-focused exercises with conversation about daily routines. For relationship or intimacy concerns she looks at communication patterns and emotional needs.
Her background emphasises a non-judgemental stance and direct feedback rather than advice. She aims to be straightforward and approachable so clients can talk about difficult topics without layers of jargon.
Estar sees issues such as grief, trauma and addiction alongside life-stage concerns like ageing, caregiver stress and career decisions. People who want a concrete plan alongside space to talk about meaning and attachment find her style practical and solution oriented.
How Estar uses recognised approaches in online work
Estar draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and test small changes in behaviour. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep and mood problems because it focuses on practical steps and measurable goals.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current responses. This can help with communication, intimacy and fears around abandonment. Her client-centred stance means conversations are led by the client and the counsellor reflects back what is noticed to help understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Estar will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree on a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and may mix structured CBT work with deeper attachment or client-centred exploration.
