Victoria Martin

Victoria Martin is a counsellor who works from a client-focused perspective. She uses a warm, supportive style and believes people know their own story best. Victoria encourages small, practical steps that can lead to meaningful change in everyday life.

She draws on a mix of Client-Centred, Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions. That means she listens for emotion, patterns and relationship dynamics, then helps people notice what gets in the way of feeling better. Conversations look at thoughts, past experiences and how relationships shape current struggles.

Victoria has five years of professional experience and holds BACP credentialing. Her caseload has included stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood concerns, as well as relationship difficulties and parenting strain. Eating and body image worries are also part of her practice focus.

People also come to her for trauma and grief, intimacy concerns, addiction and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include attachment issues, communication problems, isolation, hoarding and life purpose questions. She aims to help people build clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

Sessions are presented in a straightforward, non-judgemental way. Victoria uses questions and reflections to help people spot patterns and try alternative ways of responding. She works collaboratively and helps set goals that fit each person’s life and values.

How Victoria’s approaches translate to online work

Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online conversations. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on listening, reflection and empathy to help someone find their own answers. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions in relationships and can help when attachment and intimacy issues are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss different methods and decide together what fits your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts her way of working as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around busy days and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or to have a session during a lunch break.
