Estar Wells, BACP, NCPS

Estar Wells uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing life stress and emotional strain. She is Estar Wells, a counsellor with seven years of experience and professional registration with BACP and NCPS. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first conversation.

She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and grief. She also helps those facing relationship struggles, life changes, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy worries and trauma are also areas she works with.

Estar blends different approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural ideas, among others, and will adjust the way she works if someone prefers structure or short-term goals. Sessions are practical and conversational, with gentle feedback rather than direct advice.

Her background as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCPS) is part of how she frames her practice. Estar aims to create a calm, patient and non-judgemental space so people can talk about what matters most to them.

People choose her when they want honest conversations and clear steps forward. She will help identify small changes that can make daily life easier and support someone through decision points, losses and transitions.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust formed in early relationships. Online work with this approach helps people understand why they react to closeness or separation in certain ways and supports healthier emotional bonds.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be useful for building self-esteem and facing life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Online CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by teaching practical skills and exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and everyday needs and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change over time as progress is made and as different issues arise, so the process stays collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat works for written exchanges in real time, and text messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
