About David
David Wilde is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. He holds BACP registration and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. He also helps those coping with trauma, abuse and issues around intimacy and relationships.
He focuses on how strong emotions affect day-to-day life. Sessions often look at patterns that leave people feeling stuck. He supports people to build resilience and a clearer sense of autonomy so they can make choices that feel right for them.
Background and approach
His approach is practical and direct. He helps people name difficult feelings and understand how those feelings shape behaviour. Together they work on ways to respond differently when old patterns arise.
David has particular experience with addictions, self-esteem struggles, anger and eating concerns. He also supports people exploring LGBT issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and the challenges of social anxiety and isolation. He offers a calm, focused style and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
People leave with clearer steps to try between meetings and with a better sense of what they want to change. Background and approach: Over a decade of practice has given him a wide base of experience. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, attachment and emotion-driven problems.
He tailors work to each person’s needs and preferences, helping them set realistic goals and track progress as therapy continues.

Online support
He also draws on evidence-based techniques that target how thoughts and behaviours interact with feelings. These methods aim to reduce unhelpful reactions and build more effective coping skills for stress, anger and self-esteem problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps find what best fits each person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can be helpful for regular brief contact or when written reflection feels easier. This range of formats helps people fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
