About Margaret
Margaret Wilde is a BACP counsellor who uses a pluralistic approach to tailor therapy to each person. She combines practical strategies and reflective work to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who want clear tools and space to understand themselves.
She draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking alongside mindfulness and client-centred listening. Sessions often mix simple skills practice with questions about relationships, early experiences and current patterns.
Background and approach
This helps people notice what keeps causing pain and try different ways of responding. Margaret has eight years working as a counsellor and many years before that in mental health and learning disability roles. Much of her focus since qualifying has been trauma recovery, though she supports people with a wide range of concerns from workplace stress to addiction and low self-esteem.
Her background means she understands complex emotional responses and long-term patterns. In sessions she offers an open, non-judgemental space to talk through emotions, behaviours and beliefs. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can see things from a new angle and choose different steps.
Some sessions are conversational and exploratory, while others use practical exercises to build coping skills. Margaret works collaboratively and follows the client’s lead on pace and focus. She helps people increase self-awareness, reduce unhelpful patterns and strengthen their relationship with themselves.
The work aims to support gradual, lasting change that fits each person’s life.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment wounds or repeated relationship difficulties to understand and change those patterns.
Margaret approaches online work collaboratively. She will talk with each person about which methods feel most useful and adjust sessions as needs and goals evolve. Finding the right blend of reflection and practical tools is part of the process and she aims to involve clients in those choices.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick what suits them. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging helps keep a dialogue between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
