You've got to be brave!
It is just clipped in
Get a thin piece of metal or plastic and push it between the trim and the console on the vertical edge. You may need to lever a little, so be careful you don't chip the "wood". I used a screwdriver, others have used a household paint scraper.
There are clips that are held on the trim, that engage with the console. The theory is that you can push these clips towards the centre of the car, and the trim will come out. That's the theory. In practice, it is a little more fiddly. It gets easier with practice (or so I'm told).

There are a few DIY instructions posted on the forums...
Here's a link to one of them (what you're trying to do is illustrated as a "preliminary task" inside the main instruction document):
