Kevin Wilde, BACP

Kevin Wilde is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He works with clients on grief, relationship strain and intimacy-related issues, and supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, self-esteem and sleep problems. Kevin holds BACP registration, and he brings five years of practice in the UK to his work.

Kevin frames clients as the experts in their own stories. He aims to build a straightforward, respectful relationship and to reduce power imbalances by sharing appropriately. Conversations focus on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than overly technical explanations.

In sessions he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas inform his work on abandonment, commitment and relationship difficulties. He also uses client-centred listening to make space for people to tell their stories at their own pace.

Kevin has experience in both NHS and independent settings across a range of common concerns, including trauma and abuse, bereavement, family problems and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He is also qualified as a clinical hypnotherapist and practises Rewind Therapy outside this platform; those options are not included here.

To begin he asks people to reflect on what they most want to change and then to set small, achievable goals together. His approach is pragmatic and humane, aiming to help people find more ease in day-to-day life.

How Kevin uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and then trying small experiments to change them. That approach can help with sleep problems, stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and supports people to build different ways of relating, which can be helpful for commitment, jealousy and intimacy concerns.

Kevin treats finding the right approach as a joint process. He will work with clients to try techniques, see what fits, and adjust over time. Conversations start with what matters most to the client and move at a pace they choose, with practical goals set together.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face feeling, while phone sessions can be simpler when internet quality varies. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help clients apply therapeutic tools into everyday life, whatever format is used.
