About Estar

Estar Wells is a counsellor with seven years' experience who draws on trauma-informed and attachment-aware ways of working. She combines practical talking therapy with straightforward support to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. Estar uses clear, goal-focused methods when that suits a person's needs and prefers warm, honest conversations over jargon.

In sessions Estar aims to create calm, patient and non-judgemental space. She encourages people to talk through relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem concerns and issues around intimacy or addiction.

Background and approach

Her approach is grounded in client-centred listening, with attention to how past attachments and traumatic events can affect current feelings and choices. Estar blends different approaches to match individual needs. She may use cognitive tools to help shift unhelpful thinking, or draw on existential ideas when people are facing big life questions.

The work can be short-term and goal-focused or more open-ended depending on what someone wants to achieve. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and the National Counselling Society, NCPS. Those memberships are part of her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

People can expect plain language, gentle feedback and practical steps between sessions when helpful. Estar aims to help people build coping skills, clearer communication and stronger self-understanding so they can move forward from trauma, loss or ongoing stress.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment and trauma-aware methods work online

Trauma-focused therapy helps people name and make sense of difficult experiences so their memories cause less distress day to day. It often uses gentle, structured conversations and coping exercises that reduce overwhelming reactions and support steadier mood and sleep.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others. Sessions focus on recognising those patterns, building safer ways of relating and improving communication in important relationships.

The therapist will work with each person to choose the best mix of approaches. That decision is collaborative and based on your goals, life circumstances and what feels most helpful during the first few meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a break, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at times that suit your schedule.
