David Wilde, BACP

David Wilde is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional challenges. He works with stress and anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and the effects of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, as well as grief and loss. He also supports clients facing intimacy-related concerns, relationship difficulties, issues around self-esteem, anger, addictions, eating concerns, ADHD, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

As an advanced emotion-focused therapist, he helps clients explore and process the painful emotions that keep them feeling stuck, guiding them to build autonomy and emotional resilience. His practice emphasizes helping people regain a greater sense of control and clarity in their lives, and he works with both individuals and couples to address communication problems, isolation or loneliness, social anxiety, and questions of life purpose.

David holds the BACP credential, which signifies membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, providing flexible options to suit different needs and circumstances.

Emotion-Focused and Evidence-Based Support Online

David Wilde’s work centers on emotion-focused therapy, a practical approach that helps people identify, explore and make sense of painful feelings so they can move forward with greater emotional clarity and self-understanding. This method is well suited to complex trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and patterns of emotional avoidance.

Alongside emotion-focused work, he employs a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to stress, anxiety and trauma-related concerns. These approaches include practical strategies for managing overwhelming emotions, developing resilience, and improving coping skills to handle life changes and difficult situations.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative - David will work with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them, while still receiving care from a registered professional.
