David Wilde

David Wilde is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He has ten years of professional experience helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life events. He often works with anger alongside issues like anxiety, stress and depression.

He helps people who are coping with trauma, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse. He also supports those dealing with grief and loss, addiction concerns, and difficulties around intimacy. Relationship difficulties and questions about identity, including LGBT matters and non-monogamous relationships, are within his remit.

In sessions he focuses on the emotions that keep people stuck. He aims to help clients notice and name those feelings. From there he works to build greater emotional autonomy and resilience so people feel more in control of their choices.

His approach is practical and straightforward. Conversations tend to identify patterns, try small changes, and check what shifts in day-to-day life. He encourages clear communication and often addresses related problems such as shame, guilt, loneliness and low self-esteem.

David accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

David draws on evidence-based approaches that focus on emotions and on practical change. Emotion-focused work helps people identify, name and sit with difficult feelings so those feelings stop driving unhelpful patterns. This is useful for issues such as anger, trauma and intimacy-related struggles.

He also uses techniques aimed at building resilience and autonomy. Those methods concentrate on small behavioural changes and clearer communication, helping people try out different responses in relationships and daily life. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and social anxiety.

Finding the right way of working is a joint effort. He talks with each person about what feels useful and adapts plans as therapy progresses. The aim is to match methods to a client's goals, pace and preferences rather than to impose a single model.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter or longer sessions as needed to suit current commitments.
