About Martin

Martin Conway is a person-centred, humanistic counsellor who takes a calm and practical approach. He is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. Martin aims to create a caring space while also being direct when needed to help people move forward.

He regularly supports people dealing with depression, anxiety and stress. He also works with addiction and a wide range of related concerns such as grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and relationship difficulties. Martin includes issues around body image, eating and alternative sexual cultures in his practice.

Martin uses elements from different therapy styles to match what a person needs in the moment. He draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in relationships. He also uses emotionally-focused and psychodynamic approaches when helpful for understanding feelings and past influences.

Sessions can be structured for short-term problem solving or longer-term work that looks at deeper patterns. Martin aims to help people clarify goals, notice unhelpful cycles and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. He supports clients who identify as LGBT and people navigating career, parenting or life-stage stresses.

He has substantial online experience and offers sessions that fit into everyday life. Prospective clients should follow the site booking steps and check current session options to confirm what is offered before arranging appointments.

How Martin blends relational approaches for online work

Martin often draws on attachment-based work to map how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour, looking at how people form bonds and react under stress. Client-centred practice means the conversation follows the person's priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying to help the client make sense of feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to name and work with strong emotions, helping people notice patterns in interactions and try new ways of expressing needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss options and make choices together based on the client's goals, preferences and what feels most useful in session. This collaborative stance helps people try short-term strategies or commit to longer therapy as needed.

The biography highlights Martin's substantial online experience, so prospective clients should confirm the exact session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when progress needs reviewing. It can also allow quieter, camera-off conversations or shorter slots that suit busy schedules, depending on the format agreed with the therapist.
