Ian Wilson , BACP, NCPS

Ian Wilson is an accredited and qualified psychotherapist and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner who works from a contemporary, evidence-informed framework. He brings a compassionate, curious and measured approach to each person he sees, aiming to reduce distressing symptoms and support clients to think, feel and behave more in line with their goals. He holds professional credentials including BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and NCPS, a counselling and psychotherapy credential, and has six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Ian has developed specialist experience addressing anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, depression, and both type 1 and type 2 trauma, alongside grief and bereavement work. Since 2018 he has practised as an integrative therapist with a focus on grief interventions, and more recently he has trained and worked within brief CBT approaches used in the UK National Health Service. His practice emphasizes practical, rational strategies alongside empathic, client-centered engagement so clients can make meaningful changes in daily life.

Ian offers therapy in English and draws on a blend of therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person’s needs, preferences and circumstances. He aims to create a steady, collaborative space where difficult experiences can be explored and manageable steps toward recovery and resilience can be developed.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ian integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer practical and compassionate online support. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s experience guides the work - it is helpful for improving self-esteem, relationships and emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors that maintain distress and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He combines structured CBT techniques with a client-centered stance, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds so the plan reflects what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Ian’s online practice aims to deliver the same therapeutic goals as face-to-face work by adapting interventions to the format that best supports each person.
