About Margaret Wilde
She practises pluralistically, blending techniques rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her work combines psychodynamic listening, person-centred collaboration and cognitive behavioural strategies, with meditation and mindfulness woven in where these resonate with the client and their goals. This flexible mix allows sessions to be tailored to each individual and to change as progress unfolds.
Margaret offers an open, non-judgemental space where clients can explore emotions, relationships, habitual behaviours and the origins of their beliefs. She aims to listen deeply, reflect observations back in a way that brings fresh perspective, and support clients in understanding how patterns affect daily life. By exploring reactions and their roots, clients can begin to build greater self-awareness, stronger self-esteem and more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.
Margaret holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and she frames therapy around the client as the expert on their own life. She works collaboratively, adapting the balance between open exploration and more structured techniques to match each person’s preferences and aims.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports choosing actions that align with personal values. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and sense of safety. It can be useful for clients working with attachment issues, relationship difficulties, abandonment or family of origin concerns.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead, supporting self-discovery and self-acceptance. This approach suits people seeking a gentle, exploratory space to build self-esteem and clarity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margaret works collaboratively with clients and with other registered professionals when appropriate to determine which methods match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text-based messaging give options for shorter or more frequent exchanges. These formats make therapy more accessible and allow clients and therapists to find a rhythm that fits daily life.
