Martin helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and body image. Codependency and attachment concerns are listed among his focus areas.
Sessions can be short term to resolve a specific problem or longer term to look at deeper patterns. Martin draws on attachment work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He uses emotionally focused and psychodynamic ideas when feelings and past experience are central to the work.
His style is practical and conversational. He listens for what matters most, reflects back what he hears and points out patterns when helpful. Clients can expect to be invited to try new ways of thinking or behaving between sessions when that seems useful.
Martin has around five years' experience and significant experience working online. He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to his schedule.
Approaches that translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In practice this means noticing patterns in closeness, trust and separation and helping people try different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive encounter where the counsellor follows the person's agenda and reflects what they bring. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people map and work with strong emotions, which can be useful for grief, trauma and relationship pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. Decisions about short or longer-term work and which ideas to emphasise are made collaboratively as therapy progresses.
The biography notes substantial experience working online, but it does not list specific formats here. Before booking, confirm which session types are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. They also let people move between short focused sessions and longer conversations when that suits their schedule.
