About Martin

Martin Conway is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adults. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, and those struggling with relationship and intimacy-related issues.

He uses a person-centred, humanistic and integrative style. That means sessions focus on what the client brings and on building a dependable professional relationship. Martin can be calm and steady in sessions and also direct when clearer boundaries or practical steps are helpful.

Martin often works with people dealing with attachments and abandonment worries. He supports those who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns or who struggle with codependency and control issues. He also has experience with body image, eating and with issues connected to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.

In practical terms he offers both short-term and longer-term work. Sessions include talking through current problems, looking at how patterns formed, and trying new ways of responding. He will work at a pace the client is comfortable with and can shift focus between emotional experience and practical problem solving.

Martin has substantial online experience and assists clients who prefer remote sessions. He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site's matching process to schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How Martin uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated difficulties with closeness, abandonment or trust. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's concerns at the heart of each session. It focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what they want and need.

These approaches are used together in an integrative way. Martin will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on emotional connection one week and practical problem solving the next, depending on what feels most useful.

The biography emphasises his experience with online work, but it does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or not needing to travel for an appointment. They also allow continuity for people who live abroad or who move frequently, while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work rather than logistics.
