Martin Stubbs

Martin Stubbs is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration, which is listed as his credential. Martin aims to make it easier for people to begin difficult conversations about relationships, family tensions, grief and low mood.

He approaches sessions in a straightforward way. Martin creates space for people to say what they are thinking and feeling without judgement. He focuses on practical conversation and clear listening so clients can make sense of painful situations.

Martin works with a range of concerns including relationship strain, family problems, grief, depression, ADHD and eating and food-related issues. He also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and the stresses of caregiving.

Sessions tend to centre on understanding what matters most to the person and then finding manageable steps forward. Martin supports people through separation and divorce, blended family challenges, and long‑standing family-of-origin patterns.

He encourages a calm, steady pace and values honesty in the room. Martin invites people to take the first step and complete the brief intake so they can be matched and arrange a suitable appointment.

Approaches and how online sessions can fit your life

Martin works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people understand their thoughts and behaviours and try different ways of coping. One common approach helps people identify patterns in relationships and family life, then practise clearer communication and boundary-setting to reduce repeated conflict. Another approach concentrates on mood and loss, helping people name painful emotions, build routines that support daily functioning, and take small steps out of withdrawal.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Martin collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and he will adjust the approach as those needs change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and travel by removing commute time and letting people join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when busy days make a full session difficult, and it avoids the need to travel for every appointment. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote work helps maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still focusing on the practical work of change.
