I am a fully qualified, experienced and very human therapeutic counsellor and life coach, a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, graduate member of the British Psychological Society and member of the National Counselling Society. I work in my own practice with clients presenting with various difficulties and issues including depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement, loneliness and self-esteem issues. I also have a special interest in life transitions, life decisions and in relationship difficulties and I work as a couples therapist.
Whilst my approach is integrative, drawing from different theories according to the needs of individual clients, including Person Centred theory, Psychodynamic theory, Transactional Analysis, and CBT, some clients prefer a more structured approach for specific goals they would like to work towards in their life. This Solution Focused or Brief Therapy method appropriate for shorter time frames, is sometimes included in the way I work with certain clients in my counselling practice, when appropriate.
My person-centred background means that you will be accepted not judged and I will be totally genuine with you often giving you feedback on your journey but without directing or advising you. I am easy to talk to and I like people to feel comfortable in the sessions so they feel that they can talk, so I hope that this comes across.
So my commitment is to provide you with a calm, patient and non-judgemental therapeutic approach. I feel strongly about people being able to have access to counselling and confidential help when it’s needed and I am dedicated to this. I am here for you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Estar Wells is an experienced therapist with strong listening skills and a warm, non-judgemental presence. She’s genuine, caring and helpful and safe to talk to. I’d highly recommend her as a therapist!
Estar is an absolutely amazing therapist, but more importantly, a lovely human being. It's incredibly safe and comfortable to speak with her and she listens intently. Very grateful for my experience with Estar and I would highly recommend anyone to speak with her if you need someone to talk to. Big thank you.
Estar has been very supportive and I have found my time with her very helpful. I will look to work with her again.
