Martin Conway, BACP

Martin Conway works in a person-centred, humanistic way that aims to make conversations feel natural and focused. He is a BACP counsellor and brings five years of practice to sessions. Martin keeps things calm and straightforward so people can speak openly about difficult topics.

He helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression and stress. He also supports those dealing with addiction and related concerns. Sessions are offered for issues around relationships, grief, intimacy and self-esteem, among others.

Martin blends several approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at past relationships that shape current reactions. He uses emotionally-focused work to help people name and shift painful feelings. Psychodynamic and existential perspectives help uncover patterns and personal meaning when needed.

He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone wants. Many people choose online sessions and Martin has substantial experience delivering counselling through video, phone, chat and messaging. He aims to be direct when necessary while keeping a caring manner.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Martin will listen to what matters most, help identify small steps forward and check in about progress. People looking for help with body image, communication, codependency, chronic illness, or issues around kink and alternative sexual culture can bring those concerns into therapy too.

Approach-driven therapy delivered online

Martin uses client-centred practice to prioritise the person's own pace and priorities, creating space for people to speak without feeling pushed. Attachment-based work looks at past relationship patterns and how they affect current responses, which can help with intimacy and codependency issues. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and shift painful emotions in the moment, often improving connection and reducing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martin works collaboratively to choose what fits best for each person's goals and circumstances. He will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on how things are going.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions and are useful for fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflections and support between longer sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs, and they expand access for people living in different places.
