About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who blends humanistic and integrative methods in his work. He brings a calm, caring manner and a direct style to sessions. Martin commonly helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction.
He offers both short-term, focused work and longer-term therapy depending on a person's needs. Sessions take place online using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Martin has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
In sessions he focuses on building a trusting relationship first. He listens closely and helps people name feelings and patterns that get in the way. From there he uses approaches drawn from attachment work and emotion-focused methods to address relationship wounds and strong emotions.
Martin also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present choices. Existential ideas are used when clients want to explore meaning, values and life direction. He tailors the mix to each person rather than following one fixed formula.
People often turn to him for help with grief, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns and issues around identity or sexuality. He also supports those facing chronic pain, eating concerns, codependency and problems with control or commitment. Practical matters are covered early on - session format, goals and what to expect from ongoing work.
Martin aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on the changes the client wants to make.
How attachment and emotion-focused work translate online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and sense of safety. Online sessions give space to notice how people respond in close relationships and to practise new ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify, name and work with strong feelings. It aims to change patterns of interaction by attending to core emotions and needs, which suits issues like grief, intimacy and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martin will discuss goals, past experiences and what feels most useful, then agree a mix of methods with the client. That collaborative planning is reviewed as therapy progresses to keep work relevant to changing needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls provide face-to-face contact for deeper connection, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit breaks at work, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into busy lives.
