Ways of working Martin names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Martin works with attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape feelings today. That approach is useful for people struggling with abandonment, trust, codependency or communication problems.

He also uses client-centred work which places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. This involves listening without judgement, reflecting emotions, and helping people follow their own pace when deciding what to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in his approach to help people identify and work with strong emotions tied to relationships and loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss different methods and together with the client decide which fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when movement is needed; chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life, and to continue work while travelling or living abroad.
