About Martin

Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who practises from a humanistic, integrative perspective. He uses a calm, caring manner and a direct style to help people talk through difficult feelings. Martin holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation, and he has five years of clinical experience.

People come to him for help with anxiety, depression, stress and addiction. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, grief and challenges around self-esteem. Jealousy is listed among the concerns he works with, alongside other areas such as body image and codependency.

In sessions Martin focuses on understanding how past connections shape present relationships. He pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional responses, and uses those insights to make everyday changes. He draws on emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas together with client-centred listening to create a clear therapy plan.

He offers both shorter term, solution-focused work and longer term exploration depending on what people need. Martin has substantial experience conducting therapy online and aims to help clients fit sessions into busy lives. Before starting, he will talk through what each option involves so people can choose the right path.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, jealousy or fear of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, helping people clarify what matters and make their own changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and interaction patterns and is often used where relationship feelings and intimacy are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will collaborate with each person to decide whether short-term focused strategies or longer-term exploration fits best. He aims to match the method to the client's goals and preferences rather than applying a single model.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It also offers choices for how to take part if someone prefers audio-only or shorter, focused sessions; discuss preferences when you book so sessions suit your everyday routine.
