David Wilde, BACP

David Wilde is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of professional experience and accreditation from the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people facing a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, grief and loss, eating concerns, addictions, ADHD, and issues related to intimacy and relationships. He also supports clients dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, loneliness, life changes, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

As an advanced Emotion-Focused therapist, he concentrates on the emotions that create patterns of feeling stuck. He helps clients identify and work through painful emotional responses so they can develop greater autonomy and resilience. Through this process clients are supported to build practical coping skills and regain a stronger sense of control over their lives.

David also brings attention to communication difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and questions of life purpose. His practice aims to provide a compassionate, evidence-informed space where people can explore sensitive issues and move toward clearer choices and more satisfying relationships.

Emotion-Focused and Evidence-Based Support Online

David Wilde practices an emotion-focused approach that helps people identify and work with the core feelings that keep them stuck. This approach guides clients to name, explore, and transform painful emotions so they can respond to life with greater clarity and self-understanding. In addition to emotion-focused work, he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, cravings, and difficult thoughts. These skills-based methods aim to improve day-to-day coping and build resilience across a range of concerns including trauma, relationship challenges, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. David works collaboratively with each client and with registered professionals as needed to decide which combination of methods fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with David offers flexibility in how sessions take place. Clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to fit therapy into busy lives or different time zones. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and work toward personal goals from wherever the client is located.
