About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who draws on humanistic and integrative ways of working. He uses a calm, caring manner and can be direct when needed. Martin helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction.
He practises in the United Kingdom and provides services in English. Martin describes his work as adaptable to short-term goals or longer-term exploration. He listens for patterns in relationships and behaviour and then helps people try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside time to reflect on feelings and history. He uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current difficulties. Emotion-focused methods help people name and sit with strong emotions so they lose some of their power.
Psychodynamic thinking is sometimes used to notice repeated themes that come up in sessions and in life. Martin has five years of experience and holds BACP status, which is recorded as provided by him. He also works with issues around identity and LGBT-related concerns as part of his practice.
He has substantial experience working online and offers both brief problem-solving work and longer-term counselling. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

How Martin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships influence how people respond today. Online sessions can look at patterns of connection and help build more supported ways of feeling close to others. Client-centred work places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor follows the person’s pace, reflects what is said and helps them clarify what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong feelings, which can reduce their intensity and guide healthier choices.Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Martin will talk through different ways of working and agree what seems most helpful for the person's goals and preferences. That might mean short practical work, a focus on emotions, or deeper exploration of relationship patterns.
The biography states he has substantial experience working online. Readers should confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people work with a therapist who is based elsewhere, including international arrangements when agreed.
