Kevin Wilde, BACP

Kevin Wilde is a licensed and BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who has worked within both the NHS and private practice. With five years of clinical experience, he supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes, drawing on a broad range of approaches to meet individual needs.

He views each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to help clients recognise and use their existing strengths to navigate difficult circumstances. His practice emphasises a positive, strength-based stance while offering practical and compassionate support for issues such as relationships, trauma and abuse, family and parenting difficulties, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Kevin is also qualified in Rewind Therapy and as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, qualifications he offers alongside his core counselling work. He places strong value on the therapeutic relationship as a central part of healing, aiming to reduce power imbalances through appropriate personal disclosure and authentic connection. He encourages the courage it takes to seek change and affirms the importance of being seen and heard in the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward a more meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that develop in close relationships, helping people understand how early and current relational experiences influence intimacy, trust and communication in adult relationships. Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to access helpful inner resources and can be used alongside other therapies to address issues like sleep difficulties, habit change and anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kevin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses and drawing on different approaches where useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional ways to connect when speaking in real time is difficult. For many people the ability to choose a convenient format improves access and helps maintain continuity of support with registered professionals and therapists.
