David Wilde, BACP

David Wilde trained and practised in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of clinical experience to his counselling work. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life moments. David speaks English and accepts international clients.

David tends to work directly with emotions that keep people feeling stuck. He helps clients make sense of painful memories, including experiences of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. He also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and loss, and those struggling with addiction or eating concerns.

Intimacy issues and relationship difficulties are part of his practice. He has experience with couples and with people exploring non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships. He also helps those facing problems with self-esteem, anger, social anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.

His approach is emotionally focused and aims to build autonomy and resilience. Sessions often examine negative emotional cycles and identify small, achievable changes to daily life. David prioritises practical steps that help people feel more in control and better able to cope.

People who prefer clear, emotion-centred work may find his style a good fit. To begin, a straightforward questionnaire and scheduling process helps match clients and plan sessions according to availability. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.

Emotion-focused approaches and online therapy

David works from an emotion-focused perspective that pays attention to the feelings that keep people stuck. This approach helps identify recurring emotional patterns and the unmet needs behind them, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety and relationship difficulties.

In practice he also uses evidence-based techniques that focus on building coping skills and resilience. These techniques teach concrete ways to manage intense feelings, reduce reactivity, and improve day-to-day functioning for issues such as stress, depression and addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through different methods with each person and agree a plan that suits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from another location.
