Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who works in a calm, caring way. He blends humanistic and integrative ideas to suit each person's needs. Martin uses a straightforward style and aims to make people feel heard while also being clear when that helps progress.

Martin focuses on depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports people struggling with addiction and related concerns. His work covers a broad range of relationship and identity matters including intimacy, attachment and sexual culture issues.

Background and approach

His background includes five years working in therapeutic roles and he has substantial experience providing online sessions. He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs. Sessions are adapted to how someone prefers to communicate and to their goals.

In practice he listens first and then helps people try things that might relieve pressure or improve relationships. Conversations can look at feelings, patterns from the past and practical steps to change day-to-day life. Martin aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and others.

People come to him for help with grief, low self-esteem and anger as well as for career and coaching concerns. He also supports those facing chronic illness, body-image struggles, eating-related issues and complex attachment worries.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns people repeat in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness. It can help with abandonment, attachment issues and problems with intimacy by looking at what feels familiar and what needs changing.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client can make their own choices, which suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive space to talk.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify strong emotions and use them to create new ways of relating. It is useful for people struggling with intense feelings, communication problems or repeated patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences together and choose methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process helps tailor short-term plans or longer-term work as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and often suit brief check-ins, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days or when someone prefers writing. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, travel and family life while keeping the focus on progress and connection.
