About Ian
Ian Wilson welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or sudden panic. He uses a calm, practical manner to help people talk through upsetting thoughts and learn small changes that ease daily life. Ian writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to change.
He relies on approaches that encourage people to make sense of their experience and try new behaviours. That can mean learning simple strategies for panic attacks, spotting patterns that keep worry going, or working through strong reactions after trauma or loss. Ian draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused methods alongside a client-centred stance.
Ian trained and practised within brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and he has experience supporting people with panic disorder and panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, grief and bereavement. He also works with stress, depression, anger, relationship strain, self-esteem and career concerns.
He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has six years of clinical experience in the field. Ian aims to be curious rather than judgemental, helping people find small, useful steps they can try between sessions.
If you want to begin, he asks clients to complete a short questionnaire to match needs, then schedule sessions according to his availability. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they suit your situation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say and supports your choices, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into clear steps and teaches straightforward strategies to manage panic attacks, worry and unhelpful routines.
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to reduce the hold past events have on daily life by working safely through memories and reactions, often using gradual, paced steps to build resilience after trauma or loss.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will try the methods that seem most helpful. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust if something does not fit.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions around life, such as taking a short meeting at lunch or joining from a quieter place at home. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
