About Martin

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 5 years' experience, Martin Conway works mainly with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He is person-centred, humanistic and integrative in his approach and offers both short and long term work. Martin has experience working online and with a broad range of presenting concerns.

Martin uses a person-centred stance that keeps the client’s experience central. He listens for what matters most and helps people describe and name difficult feelings. He also draws on psychodynamic and attachment ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences can affect current behaviour.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relationship feelings and intense emotions need attention. That can help people who struggle with connection, closeness or recurring conflicts. Existential ideas are sometimes brought in to help clients think about meaning, choice and the practical consequences of values in daily life.

Sessions are straightforward and verbal. Martin can be direct when clarity is needed and more reflective when exploring deeper material. He offers a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term conversation depending on what someone wants to work on.

People bring a wide range of issues, including bereavement, body image and sexual culture concerns, grief, parenting strain, and substance use. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and dissociation. Language of work is English and he accepts international clients.

How Martin's approaches translate to online sessions

Martin blends person-centred work with attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements. Person-centred work means the conversation begins with the client’s experience and priorities, helping people put words to feelings and decide what to work on. Attachment-based approaches look at repeated patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect current life and closeness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements concentrate on strong emotions in relationships and on making feelings more understandable and manageable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Martin will explore goals, preferences and the practical issues that matter to the client, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether short-term focussed work or longer-term exploration is best.

The biography states he has substantial online experience, but does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means sessions can be scheduled across different time zones for international clients, though format details should be checked in advance.
