About Martin
Martin Porritt is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' professional experience. He works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. He also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, panic, self-love and sexuality.
Martin's starting point is that people know their story best. He helps clients identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to change unhelpful patterns. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to what a person wants to do differently in everyday life.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, noticing patterns of behaviour and emotion, and trying small, manageable steps between meetings. He aims to make ideas easy to apply so clients can test them outside sessions. Feedback and adjustment are part of the process rather than fixed rules.
Martin describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means focusing on approaches that have been shown to help with mood problems, panic, trauma responses and addictive behaviours. He matches methods to each person's situation rather than using one single way of working.
People who come for support often want clearer communication, relief from strong emotions, or help repairing relationships after loss or separation. Sessions are offered in English and Martin accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's matching steps and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target mood, panic and trauma responses. One approach focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, then testing small changes in daily life to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Another approach works directly with trauma-related responses by helping people notice triggers and build practical strategies to manage intense reactions.Finding the right method is part of the work. Martin treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will discuss options with each person based on their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try different ways of working remotely and move forward from wherever they are able to attend.
