David Wilde, BACP

David Wilde is a United Kingdom based therapist with a BACP credential and ten years of professional practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, complex trauma, sexual, physical and emotional abuse, grief and loss, and a broad range of relationship and intimacy concerns. His practice also supports clients dealing with anger, addiction, eating difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD and life transitions, and he offers experience with LGBT and non-monogamous relationship issues.

As an advanced emotion-focused therapist, David concentrates on the difficult emotions that keep people feeling stuck. He helps clients explore and process those emotions so they can develop greater autonomy and resilience and regain a stronger sense of control over their lives. His use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques emphasizes practical skill building and emotional processing tailored to each person’s situation.

David works with individuals and couples and accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. He delivers care in English and adapts his approach to each client’s goals and preferences, supporting those seeking relief from distress, improved relationships, or clearer direction during life changes.

Emotion-Focused Approaches and Flexible Online Care

David brings emotion-focused therapy to online work, guiding clients to identify and process the core feelings that maintain distress. This approach encourages exploration of underlying emotional patterns and supports people in changing unhelpful responses, which can be especially useful for trauma, relationship difficulties, and issues with intimacy.

Alongside emotion-focused work, David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building and clear strategies tailored to each person. These methods focus on improving coping, communication and self-management so clients can apply what they learn between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which techniques are the best fit. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and travel. This variety of formats also lets clients select the mode that feels most comfortable and maintain continuity of care across locations.
