About Martin

Martin Conway works with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction using a person-centred, humanistic and integrative way of working. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in practice.

He uses a person-centred approach that focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. That means conversations concentrate on the client’s experiences and feelings, and the counsellor follows their lead while offering thoughtful reflection and challenge.

Martin also draws on emotion-focused methods to look at how feelings shape relationships and behaviour. He uses psychodynamic ideas to consider past patterns that keep repeating, and existential thinking to help people face big questions about values and meaning.

Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what the client wants. In practice he helps people talk through stress, low mood, worry, addictive patterns and relationship difficulties using clear, conversational work rather than technical language.

He has worked online for much of his practice and combines direct listening with careful reflection. People meet a counsellor who aims to be steady and occasionally direct, helping them notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Martin works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the BACP and uses the approaches above to support people exploring emotional, relational and life-stage concerns.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Martin uses person-centred work to focus on what the client wants to talk about, offering reflection and listening that help people clarify their concerns. This approach suits worries about anxiety, stress, depression and relationship matters.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people recognise and work with strong feelings in relationships, and psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring patterns from earlier life that affect current behaviour. These methods aim to make feelings and patterns clearer so clients can try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss aims, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as the work proceeds.

The biography states he has a great deal of experience working online but does not specify formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, avoid travel time and choose a quieter moment for a shorter check-in if needed.
