About Margaret
BACP counsellor Margaret Wilde has eight years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns using a mix of talking therapies.
Margaret draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She combines these approaches rather than relying on a single method. The mix is chosen to address a person’s goals and how they prefer to work.
Before qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor she spent fifteen years in mental health and learning disability roles. Since qualifying, much of her focus has been trauma recovery. That background informs how she notices patterns in relationships and early family experiences.
In sessions she invites people to talk through emotions, beliefs and behaviour patterns. She listens and reflects so clients can see things from a different angle. Practical strategies and gentle self-examination are used where they fit the client's needs.
Margaret helps people increase self-awareness and build more helpful patterns. Areas she commonly addresses include family of origin issues, attachment struggles, grief, anger, addictions, workplace difficulties and ADHD-related concerns. She also works with issues such as guilt, shame and self-harm when they are part of a broader plan.
People who contact her begin by choosing how they want to work together. Sessions can be more exploratory or more skills-based, depending on what the person prefers and the goals they bring.

How her approaches translate to online work
Margaret uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred methods. ACT focuses on helping people clarify values and take actions that matter to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and adjust those patterns. Client-centred therapy prioritises being heard and understood so people can explore feelings and make their own changes.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Margaret will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so the approach fits what the client needs and wants.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. Some people find video helpful for seeing facial expressions, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth and less focus on being on camera. Discuss the practical format you prefer when arranging the first appointment.
