About Victoria

Counsellor (BACP), five years' experience. Victoria Martin focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, and related difficulties such as grief, trauma, addiction and self-esteem. She works with people who want practical ways to manage feelings and improve important relationships.

Victoria uses client-centred work to build a trusting conversation. She listens for what matters most to each person and follows their pace. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and emotional patterns in relationships, and on psychodynamic ideas to notice long-standing themes that shape how someone copes.

In sessions she encourages people to name feelings and describe what gets in the way of change. She combines reflection with problem-focused discussion, helping clients test small changes between meetings. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and conflict strategies for partners and for people wanting clearer interaction skills.

Victoria says people already carry strengths they can use. In practical terms she helps people develop new habits, rehearse conversations and manage upsetting thoughts. She also supports parents working through practical parenting stresses and family conflicts.

Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Victoria commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and creating a steady therapeutic conversation so people can make sense of their feelings and goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at attachment patterns and emotions in relationships, helping people name painful interaction cycles and try new ways of relating.

The choice of approach is collaborative. Victoria will talk with the client about their concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. She adapts the work over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Others use therapy to rehearse difficult conversations or practice emotion-focused exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they run online meetings, and Victoria will explain the practical arrangements when you start.
