Martin Conway, BACP

Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who combines humanistic and integrative ways of working. He brings a calm, caring presence and a straightforward style to sessions. Martin holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, shown as BACP, and has five years of practice.

Martin supports people who are coping with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He also helps with relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. His work includes a wide range of additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, eating difficulties, and challenges around communication and control.

Sessions balance listening and reflection with clear, practical conversation. Martin adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs, offering both short-term and longer-term work. He aims to make sessions understandable and useful for everyday life rather than filled with jargon.

He has substantial experience working online and uses that to help people fit therapy into their routines. Martin accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Details about how sessions are arranged should be checked at booking.

People often come for help with addiction, chronic worry, or feeling empty, and leave having clearer steps to try between sessions. Martin’s approach emphasises building a steady therapeutic relationship that can hold difficult feelings while exploring change.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at emotional connections and helps people notice and change unhelpful ways of relating, which can be useful for anxiety, abandonment and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor offers empathic listening and support so people can find their own answers, which suits work on depression, self-esteem and many life choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings and then work through them to change how they relate to themselves and others; this can help with relationship distress and deep emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martin will discuss these ways of working with the person and adapt them to match goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and aims to fit therapy around the client’s needs.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Because Martin has a lot of online experience, he can help make the practical side of remote work straightforward. Confirm the current session options and scheduling details when booking to make sure they meet your needs.
