About Victoria

Victoria Martin is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She believes people know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Victoria focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day life.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand painful emotions beneath relationship problems. She also uses Gottman Method ideas to look at communication patterns and rebuild connection.

Background and approach

Psychodynamic ideas are used where past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Victoria has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. That experience includes helping people cope with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, low self-esteem and mood difficulties.

She also supports people facing parenting strain, family conflict and major life changes. Sessions stay focused on what matters now. Victoria helps people identify small, doable changes and practises better ways of communicating and managing strong feelings.

She works at a steady, non-judgemental pace and adjusts the approach to each person’s situation. People can expect a collaborative relationship where the counsellor listens first and offers options next. Over time the work aims to ease distress, strengthen coping skills and restore a clearer sense of direction.

How Victoria’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In an online session this often means the counsellor reflects what you say and helps you notice strengths and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the emotional patterns that keep relationship pain alive and helps people name and shift those feelings to create different interactions.

Victoria will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. She will discuss which approach fits your concerns and adapt techniques to your goals and preferences. That conversation continues as the work progresses so the method can change if something else would help more.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and to keep regular contact between in-depth sessions.
