Margaret Wilde , BACP

Margaret Wilde brings a depth of experience built over many years in the helping professions, including fifteen years working in mental health and learning disability roles before qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor. Since qualifying, she has concentrated on trauma recovery and has developed a practical, compassionate approach to supporting people through difficult life challenges.

She practices pluralistically, blending psychodynamic insight with person-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques, and she weaves meditation and mindfulness where they resonate with a client’s needs. This flexible way of working is designed to shape therapy around each person rather than applying a fixed method, so sessions address the patterns, beliefs and emotions that maintain unhelpful cycles.

Margaret aims to provide an open and nonjudgmental space in which people can explore their emotions, relationships and the origins of their responses. She focuses on deep listening and reflective feedback to help clients see issues from new perspectives and to understand how past experiences influence present behaviour. Through increased self-awareness, practical strategies and a focus on building self-esteem, she supports people to find more helpful patterns and to move toward their personal goals.

Margaret holds BACP membership. BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
