About David
David Wilde is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions and challenges linked to ADHD.
He focuses on feelings that keep people stuck, especially strong and painful emotions. He helps clients understand those emotions and build more autonomy and resilience.
Background and approach
That work aims to give people clearer choices and greater control over day-to-day life. Sessions typically involve talking through recent events and the patterns that keep repeating. He helps clients name emotions, notice how those feelings shape behaviour, and practise different responses.
Practical steps and small experiments are used to test new ways of relating to oneself and others. Clients come for a range of concerns including self-esteem, anger, eating difficulties, loneliness and social anxiety. He also supports people exploring non-monogamous relationships and issues around sexual identity and LGBT concerns.
The focus is on the individual’s experience rather than labels. People can expect a calm, direct approach that aims to make therapy understandable and manageable. He works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the approach as things change.

How emotion-focused work translates to online therapy
Emotion-focused work helps people notice and name the feelings that drive difficult choices. In practice this involves gentle exploration of emotional responses, identifying patterns, and trying new ways of responding to painful emotions. It can help with anxiety, depression, trauma responses and difficulties in intimate relationships.Another common element is building autonomy and resilience through small experiments. These are practical tasks worked through between sessions to test new coping strategies and strengthen everyday confidence. They give concrete ways to track change over time and adapt the work to real-life situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and any practical constraints. This collaborative planning aims to fit techniques to your needs rather than imposing a single method.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when people need a quick update. It also makes access possible for international clients who wish to work with a United Kingdom-based therapist.
