Therapeutic approaches and online working
Estar uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns from past relationships that affect current feelings and closeness. This approach is useful for anyone wanting to understand why certain situations trigger fear or withdrawal. Client-centred therapy is also a core part of her work and focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions in a calm, non-judgemental way.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy when practical steps and clear strategies are needed to change thoughts and behaviours tied to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Together these approaches allow for both reflective exploration and concrete skill-building, and Estar will work with each person to decide what fits best. She frames that choice as a collaboration, checking goals and preferences so the plan evolves with the client.
Online therapy with Estar can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while chat and messaging offer a way to keep in contact between sessions or to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and support access from different locations.
