Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who feel nervous or unsure about reaching out.

He focuses on relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating concerns. He also helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues and body image worries.

Background and approach

His work covers a range of family and origin problems, such as blended family challenges and communication breakdowns. Martin creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful experiences. He listens for what matters most and helps people put their concerns into words.

That approach is practical and straightforward rather than overly clinical. Sessions normally explore how past patterns affect today’s feelings and choices. He supports people in identifying small changes that can improve daily life and relationships.

Practical steps and clearer communication are common focuses in sessions. Martin offers sessions in a variety of formats so people can choose what fits their life. He works in English and practises within the UK.

For those beginning therapy he encourages a simple first move - complete the matching questionnaire and arrange a session time that suits you.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on making changes people can notice in day-to-day life. One common approach helps people understand how past attachments shape current relationships and emotional reactions; it is useful for attachment issues, abandonment and relationship difficulties. Another approach looks at mood, thoughts and behaviours to reduce depressive symptoms and improve coping with grief; sessions break problems into manageable steps and build practical routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and choose what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to make sure it feels helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick updates or shorter check-ins. These formats give flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
