About Martin

Martin Stubbs is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. He helps people with relationship concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, and depression. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD and eating issues.

Martin focuses on clear, straightforward conversations. He aims to make it easier to say what has been hard to say. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past patterns affect current feelings and choices.

Many clients come with guilt or shame tied to relationships, family history, faith or difficult choices. Martin listens for the practical ways those feelings show up - in communication, in eating patterns, or in withdrawal - and then works on small, manageable steps to change them.

He has experience with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress and ageing-related worries. He also supports people affected by autism or Asperger syndrome and those facing separation or domestic violence related pressures.

Martin invites straightforward discussions about goals and expectations. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and checks in about what feels helpful. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session through the online options button.

How his therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns - it helps people see how early connections shape current reactions and improves how they communicate and relate. Another approach targets mood and behaviour by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce low mood and increase activity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will review a person's concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between longer meetings or to keep therapy going when schedules change. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can pick what fits your routine.
