About Margaret

Margaret Wilde is a therapeutic counsellor who blends several approaches to support people with stress, anxiety and workplace wellbeing. She uses flexible methods to help people untangle patterns, manage strong emotions and make practical changes. Her practice emphasises listening, clarity and working at a pace that suits each person.

Margaret spent fifteen years in the helping professions in mental health and learning disability before training as a therapeutic counsellor. She has eight years of post-qualification experience and has focused much of her work on trauma recovery. This background informs how she pairs practical strategies with exploration of a person’s past experiences.

She works pluralistically, drawing on psychodynamic ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural methods. Mindfulness and meditation are woven in when they suit a person’s goals. That mix means sessions can include gentle reflection, practical skills and exercises to manage upsetting thoughts or reactions.

In sessions Margaret offers an open, non-judgemental space to talk through emotions, relationships and recurring behaviours. She helps people notice how beliefs and early experiences shape current choices, then practices new ways of responding. The focus can be on increasing self-awareness, building self-esteem and developing healthier patterns.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD and workplace issues. She invites each person to guide the pace and style of work so therapy fits their needs and life circumstances.

How key approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for stress, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and helps people recognise and shift unhelpful responses in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Margaret will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That collaboration means sessions can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time for reflection or use audio rather than video for lower bandwidth or a shorter session style. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and behavioural techniques to work in remote appointments, helping people apply skills directly into daily life.
