About Estar Wells
Estar Wells is a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and life coach who brings a warm, human presence to work with individuals and couples. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) - both professional organisations that indicate recognised training and adherence to professional standards. Estar sees clients in her own practice and supports people presenting with depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness and self-esteem concerns, with a particular interest in life transitions, major life decisions and relationship difficulties, including couples work.
Her practice is integrative, drawing on a range of theories to suit each person's needs. That includes person-centred listening that prioritises acceptance and genuine engagement, psychodynamic ideas, transactional analysis and cognitive behavioural techniques when structured work is helpful. She also uses solution-focused elements for shorter-term goals when appropriate. Estar aims to offer a calm, patient and non-judgemental space, giving honest feedback without directing or imposing advice. She seeks to make sessions comfortable and approachable so people can talk openly about what matters to them, and she is committed to helping clients access counselling and support when it is needed.

Estar works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences and the methods that fit best, adapting the mix of approaches over time so therapy matches changing needs. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine styles to support both short-term goals and deeper exploration.
Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations, and to continue work between sessions in ways that suit individual preferences.
