About Margaret
Margaret Wilde is a BACP counsellor who offers practical, person-focused therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression. She uses a flexible approach to create sessions that match each person's needs and goals. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make small, manageable changes in daily life.
Margaret draws on eight years of professional practice and many earlier years in mental health and learning disability services.
Background and approach
That background gives her experience with trauma recovery and complex life situations. She blends different approaches rather than sticking to one model, so sessions are shaped around what feels most useful for the individual. In practice this means listening closely and reflecting what she hears.
Conversations look at emotions, patterns of behaviour, beliefs and relationships. Clients can expect a mix of talking, reflection and practical strategies to try between sessions. Margaret works with issues such as grief, addictions, workplace stress, low self-esteem and parenting challenges.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, abandonment and post-traumatic stress. The work often includes mindfulness and exercises to strengthen self-awareness. Her aim is to help people notice unhelpful reactions and try different ways of being.
Sessions focus on building healthier routines, gentler self-talk and clearer choices. Margaret invites people to explore their past and present at a pace that feels right for them.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Margaret will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. The first sessions are often a chance to try different techniques and agree what helps most going forward.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to access regular support and try different formats to find what works best.
