Margaret Wilde is a counsellor who focuses on trauma recovery and related difficulties.

About Margaret

Margaret Wilde is a counsellor who focuses on trauma recovery and related difficulties. She draws on a range of counselling approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship strain. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping clients notice patterns and take steps toward change.

Before qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor, Margaret spent fifteen years in the helping professions working in mental health and learning disability.

Background and approach

She now has eight years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation. This background informs a grounded approach to complex problems. Margaret works pluralistically, combining elements from different therapies rather than using a single method.

Sessions may include talking through current issues, looking at how past experiences shape reactions, and trying practical strategies to cope better day to day. Mindfulness and simple meditation practices are available if they suit the person. She offers an open, non‑judgemental space where people can explore emotions like grief, anger, guilt or shame.

Margaret also addresses concerns such as addiction, compassion fatigue, workplace stress, ADHD and parenting pressures in one-to-one sessions. Her style is collaborative. She listens closely, reflects back what she notices and helps people test out new ways of thinking and acting.

The aim is to build self‑awareness, improve coping, and move towards a life that feels more manageable and aligned with personal values.

Therapeutic approaches for online trauma recovery

Trauma‑Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events by gently exploring memories, reactions and coping strategies. It can be useful for post‑traumatic stress, difficulties with intrusive memories and strong emotional reactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses practical exercises to clarify values and build small steps towards a more meaningful life. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching ways to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them.

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Working on attachment can help with abandonment fears, relationship difficulties and repeating unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Margaret will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Sessions may shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or simpler check‑ins, and messaging or chat can be used for shorter, more flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional recovery.
