David Wilde, BACP

David Wilde is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration, which reflects his standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. David speaks English and offers support to people both in the UK and internationally.

David focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, intimacy-related issues and ADHD. Many people come to him for help with anger, low self-esteem, loneliness and communication problems.

His approach centres on working through strong negative emotions that keep people feeling stuck. He aims to help clients build more autonomy and emotional resilience so they can take back more control over everyday life. Sessions are practical and calm, with space to name painful feelings and consider new ways of responding.

David offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. He uses an initial matching process so people can find a good fit and then schedule sessions that suit their life. Fees vary with location and the subscription model can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire. Once matched, they can book sessions at times that work for them and begin exploring goals and next steps.

Approaches that help online and how they work

David often uses emotion-focused work that helps people notice and name deep feelings, understand where they come from and make different choices in relationships and everyday life. This approach is useful for trauma, intimacy issues and strong anger. It helps people move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control.

He also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to manage anxiety and stress. These techniques include learning simple ways to regulate emotion, reduce avoidance and build coping skills that can be practised between sessions. Such tools are helpful for social anxiety, panic and day-to-day pressure.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to personal goals, try different ways of working and adapt the plan as progress is made. Decisions about techniques and pace are agreed together so work fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy lives while keeping continuity of care.
