About Martin
Martin Conway is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with people managing depression, anxiety, stress and addiction, and with concerns around relationships, grief, body image and intimacy-related issues.
Martin follows a person-centred, humanistic and integrative approach. He focuses on listening first and then helping people name what is causing their distress. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, with room for both gentle reflection and clear feedback.
He supports people who are wrestling with guilt and shame linked to family, faith, relationships or past behaviour. He also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, codependency, dissociation and struggles related to kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions can be short-term problem solving or longer-term talking work depending on what the person wants.
Martin has substantial experience offering counselling online. He offers a steady, calm presence and can be direct when that helps move things forward. Practical topics such as communication, commitment and coping with chronic pain or illness often come up in his work.
People who choose him tend to be looking for clear, human conversation about hard feelings. To begin they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session, using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Martin draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections influence current relationships. This approach helps when feelings of abandonment, attachment anxiety or difficulties with intimacy come up. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can make sense of painful feelings and decide what matters next.These ways of working are offered collaboratively. Martin will talk with each person about what feels useful and adapt the mix of approaches to suit their goals and preferences. Deciding whether short-term focused work or longer-term counselling fits best happens together over the first few sessions.
The biography highlights considerable online experience, but does not list specific formats here, so confirm available session types before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical options, and Martin will discuss what works best for scheduling and interaction when you arrange a first session.
