Victoria Martin , BACP

Victoria Martin is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and parenting challenges. She works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing resources can be drawn on to navigate change and overcome obstacles.

Victoria emphasizes the courage involved in seeking a more satisfying and balanced life and offers calm, steady support as clients take the first steps toward change. She aims to empower people to build on their strengths, clarify their goals, and develop practical ways to manage difficult emotions and interactions.

Victoria holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body in the UK. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, focused on helping clients find clearer ways forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Victoria often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people explore their own goals and values in a supportive atmosphere. This approach can help with stress, low mood, and decisions about relationships or parenting.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for work that involves attachment and relationship patterns. EFT helps people identify emotional responses and improve connection and communication with partners or family members.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Victoria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the approach over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives, manage logistics across locations, and maintain continuity when circumstances change.
