About Martin
Counsellor Martin Conway is a BACP-registered practitioner with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He works with people on depression, anxiety, stress and addiction among other concerns. Martin offers both short-term and longer-term work and has substantial experience of online practice.
Martin uses a person-centred, humanistic and integrative way of working. Sessions focus on what the client brings. He listens for patterns in relationships, feelings and behaviour and helps people talk these through.
He often helps with difficult feelings after loss or abuse, and with relationship and intimacy issues. He also supports people dealing with eating or body image worries, substance use, and problems linked to identity and sexual culture including BDSM and kink.
In practice Martin pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current reactions. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns. He also uses solution-focused and emotionally-focused techniques to work on specific goals and stronger emotional connections.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect clear, steady feedback and room to reflect. Before a first meeting he asks about the main concern and what the person hopes to change.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps when people notice repeating patterns in relationships and worry about closeness or abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the centre. The counsellor follows what the client says and helps them find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotional responses in relationships and can help people improve how they connect and communicate.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Martin will discuss options with clients and help decide what fits their aims and situation. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography notes substantial experience of online work, but session formats are not listed in detail here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online sessions help maintain continuity of care when life is busy, while still focusing on emotional and relational issues through the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
