About Ian
Ian Wilson is a psychotherapist registered with BACP and NCPS with six years' experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coaching needs. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients.
Ian uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. He practises Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. He describes his work as rational and contemporary, aiming to reduce presenting symptoms and change how people think, feel and behave.
He has particular experience with panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive patterns. He also continues to offer specialised grief and bereavement support after working in that field since 2018. His CBT practice has recent grounding in brief CBT methods used within the UK healthcare context.
In a typical session Ian focuses on clear steps and practical strategies. He will talk through thoughts and behaviours and help people try different responses between sessions. He balances structured techniques with time to reflect on what matters most to the client.
People looking to manage their temper, reduce recurring frustration, or cope with another person's anger will find direct, practical work here. Ian asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding how a person sees their situation. It creates space for people to talk through feelings such as anger and resentment and helps clarify what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce panic, manage intrusive thoughts, and change habitual reactions like losing temper.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past harm affects present responses. It helps people process traumatic memories and reduce strong emotional reactions tied to those events.
Finding the right combination of these methods is usually a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people practise new skills in everyday life and follow up between meetings.
