About Margaret
Margaret Wilde is a counsellor who uses a flexible, pluralistic approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma. She draws on practical techniques and simple conversations so clients can make steady progress towards their goals. Margaret works with adults across a range of concerns including depression, grief, workplace issues and addiction.
She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Before qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor, Margaret spent fifteen years in roles supporting people with mental health needs and learning disabilities.
Background and approach
That background shaped her practical focus on recovery and everyday coping skills. She has eight years of counselling experience since qualifying and has spent much of that time working in trauma recovery. Margaret adapts methods rather than following a single model.
She blends psychodynamic ideas with client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. The result is a tailored plan built around what a person finds most useful. Sessions involve exploring emotions, relationships and recurring patterns.
Margaret listens closely and offers reflections that aim to help people see things differently. She also shares interactive strategies to change unhelpful behaviours when those are needed. Common topics she helps with include attachment and family of origin issues, self-esteem and shame, anger and compassion fatigue, and challenges such as ADHD and post-traumatic stress.
Her work focuses on building self-awareness, improving coping, and supporting people to make practical changes they can sustain.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and learning small actions that reflect your values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance stop you doing things that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work and Margaret treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, then combine methods that fit the person. That means sessions can include reflective conversation, practical tasks or guided mindfulness depending on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work through material face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports day-to-day contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still getting consistent support from registered or accredited professionals.
