Martin Conway

Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who draws on humanistic and integrative ways of working. He uses an open, calm manner in sessions and can be direct when needed. Martin holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, BACP, and brings five years of practice to his work.

Martin helps people with depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports those dealing with addiction and anger. He talks through relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and career questions in straightforward language.

His style focuses on listening without judgement and helping people make sense of feelings. Sessions can be short term to focus on a single problem or longer to work through deeper patterns. He often explores how past attachments shape current reactions and relationships.

Martin uses elements from attachment-based, emotionally-focused and psychodynamic approaches alongside client-centred methods. That mix means he can help with practical steps while also looking at underlying issues such as abandonment, codependency or dissociation. He also works with concerns around body image, sexual expression including kink, and chronic illness.

Clients come from across the United Kingdom and internationally, and Martin has substantial online experience. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Martin’s approaches translate to online work

Martin commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at how early relationships influence present feelings and behaviours and can help with anger, abandonment and trust issues. He also uses emotionally-focused therapy, which focuses on identifying and naming emotions in the moment to improve how people respond to stress and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss a person’s needs, goals and preferences and then shape sessions collaboratively. That means trials of a way of working are normal and adjustments are made as progress and understanding develop.

Many clients find online sessions fit into busy lives because they reduce travel and make scheduling easier. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or longer blocks depending on what is needed. The biography records substantial online experience, but readers should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their everyday routine.
