About Estar
Estar Wells is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach with a strong thread of existential thinking. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making difficult conversations easier to start.
She draws on a blend of methods to suit each person’s needs, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions often focus on clear, practical steps for coping while also exploring deeper questions about meaning and values.
Background and approach
That mix can help when someone wants both short-term tools and a space to think things through. Wells has seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and struggles with self-esteem.
She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career decisions and compassion fatigue. Her way of working is conversational and respectful. She aims to listen without judgement, reflect what she hears, and offer feedback rather than directives.
Clients are invited to set goals and test small changes between sessions if that feels helpful. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical arrangements including format and timing are discussed at the start so that therapy fits the person’s life.

Online support
How existential and attachment approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people consider their values, choices and the meanings they give to life. It often focuses on questions about purpose, responsibility and how to live with difficult feelings, and can be useful for people facing major life changes or loss.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings of safety and connection. It can help when people struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or patterns that repeat in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs together and adjust methods as conversations develop. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasise short-term skills, reflective exploration, or both.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a direct face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
