Jill Martin, NCPS

Jill Martin helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and difficult life changes. Jill is upfront about the courage it takes to start therapy and aims to make first steps easier to take.

Jill practises a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness skills are introduced to help with moment-to-moment overwhelm and to build steadiness.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits such as smoking or process addictions. Solution-focused techniques help when a person wants clear, short-term goals and steps to move forward. Jill tailors methods to the concerns raised and to each person's pace.

Jill holds the NCPS credential, which is listed with her professional details. She has 17 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through complex issues like bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered in English via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to therapist availability. Jill aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and try practical steps for change.

How Jill’s approaches work in online therapy

Jill blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Client-centred therapy means the session is shaped around the person's story and priorities, while CBT gives clear steps to test out different ways of thinking and acting that reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and improve focus day to day. Mindfulness involves simple practices that bring attention to the present moment and can be useful for stress, panic symptoms and rumination. Together these approaches can suit people who want both understanding and practical tools to make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions match what the person needs now and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting and good for detailed conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
