Martha Cheesman

Martha Cheesman is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anger and related concerns. She works with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. Martha draws on ten years of focused practice to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.

Her style is practical and human. She listens first and asks plain questions to find out what matters most. Sessions cover the emotional side as well as how thoughts and behaviours affect day-to-day life. Martha aims to help people feel heard and rebuild a sense of worth after painful experiences.

Martha blends several well-known approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions now. Cognitive behavioural tools help break unhelpful thinking and shift behaviours that feed anger and low mood.

There is also space for emotional processing with an emotionally-focused perspective, and for exploring meaning and values using existential ideas. She introduces mindfulness and trauma-aware practices when they suit the situation. The focus is on small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.

Martha has experience across different ages and cultures from work in the United Kingdom and beyond. She offers sessions in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the site.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people respond to stress and anger now. It helps identify repeating patterns in close relationships and gives ways to try different, healthier responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce behaviours that fuel anger and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong feelings and create new ways to be with emotions that once felt overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to suit what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people keep continuity when they are living in different places. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be delivered.
