About Margaret

Margaret Wilde is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic approach to help people find what works for them. She draws on a mix of therapies so each session is shaped around the person in front of her. Margaret has eight years of experience and a background in mental health and learning disability work that preceded her counselling career.

Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, or workplace strains.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, addictions and relationship worries. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, family of origin issues, post-traumatic stress and difficulties around self-harm and self-love. Margaret blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening.

She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person's goals. Sessions are adapted to practical needs and personal preference rather than following a single method. In the room she offers calm, steady attention and prompts people to notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Conversations can look at past events, current relationships or concrete strategies to manage day-to-day stress. The aim is to increase self-awareness and help people try different ways of responding. Margaret works with people who want to better understand themselves and change unhelpful patterns.

She describes her role as guiding and reflecting so clients can set their own direction. She is registered with the BACP, practices in the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Margaret commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose values-based actions and accept difficult feelings instead of fighting them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections and self-view; this can help with attachment issues, relationship distress and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needs and goals evolve. Sessions can include reflective conversation, practical exercises and mindfulness practices chosen together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to take part. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter reflections or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
