About Martin
Martin Conway is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and addiction, and also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports clients dealing with grief, body image, LGBT issues and career questions.
He uses a person-centred, humanistic and integrative style. That means sessions focus on the person in front of him and use different ideas to fit the issue being discussed. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make feelings clearer and more manageable.
Martin offers both short-term and longer-term work. He has considerable online experience and will discuss whether fewer sessions or a longer plan suits the situation. Meetings are focused and practical while still exploring deeper patterns when those come up.
Typical topics include family and attachment concerns, addiction and recovery, eating and body issues, and sexual culture including BDSM and kink. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, grief, anger, emptiness and communication problems.
Clients can expect an approach that balances openness and directness. Sessions move between talking about current problems and looking at how past relationships influence present choices. The emphasis is on making changes that fit everyday life and personal values.
Approaches to work online and what they involve
Martin uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and adult relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when trust, abandonment or closeness are causing pain. Client-centred work places the client's experience at the centre of sessions; the therapist follows what matters most to the person and helps clarify feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and can be useful for intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss different methods and decide together which fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as understanding grows.
The biography notes he has a great deal of online experience, but it does not list exact session formats here. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow sessions to fit around study or work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video where less bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online work to help clients keep therapy within daily life and routines.
