Estar Wells , BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells is a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and life coach who brings seven years of professional experience to her private practice. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a professional body for counsellors - and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) - a recognised counselling organisation. Her person-centred foundation means she offers a warm, accepting space where clients are met without judgement and supported with genuine, honest feedback when appropriate.

Estar works with people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties and life transitions. She also practices as a couples therapist and supports clients through short-term, goal-focused work as well as longer-term exploration. Her integrative approach draws on Person-Centred theory, Psychodynamic ideas, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, adapting to each client’s individual needs and preferences.

Clients can expect a calm, patient and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship designed to help them explore choices, develop coping strategies and navigate change. Estar is committed to making counselling accessible and is accepting new clients, including international clients who wish to work remotely.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Estar Wells draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a compassionate, non-directive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is helpful for issues such as self-esteem, life transitions and emotional processing because it emphasizes empathy and the client-therapist relationship.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy, trust and connection. This work can be particularly useful for clients struggling with abandonment concerns, relationship difficulties or attachment issues.

In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used when clients want a more structured way to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours related to anxiety, depression or stress. CBT supports practical skill-building and measurable progress toward specific goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Estar will work with each client to identify which methods align with their needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier for international clients or those in remote areas to access licensed professionals and ongoing therapeutic support.
