About Regina
Regina Martins is a counsellor psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a psychodynamic counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 16 years of experience working in educational, community and health settings in the United Kingdom and abroad. Regina lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other issues among her areas of work.
Regina trained first in psychology in Brazil and then studied psychodynamic counselling in the UK. She also completed a year studying trauma and psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic. That background informs how she works with people who feel stuck by past events or repeating patterns.
Her practice pays attention to what happened in childhood and to current relationships. She looks at how early attachments and family dynamics show up now. Sessions focus on understanding repetitive behaviours and emotional responses, and on making different choices in day-to-day life.
Regina has worked with adults and older adults across diverse London boroughs, including people from different cultural backgrounds and expatriates. She offers therapy in English and Portuguese. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Regina works from psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking, looking at how past relationships and family life influence current feelings and behaviour. This helps when someone wants to understand recurring patterns that affect relationships, mood or self-worth.She also uses a client-centred stance, which means conversations focus on what the person brings and on listening without judgement. That style supports people who need a steady, conversational place to talk through stress, anxiety or life changes.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Regina will discuss options with each person and help decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. That collaboration can include checking in about how in-depth psychodynamic work feels compared with shorter, more focused conversations.
The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or commuting, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick catch-up is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and focus to suit everyday schedules, helping therapy fit into a young adult's life without promising a specific format.
