About Martin
Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm, approachable presence for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Martin aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.
He focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating-related issues. He also helps people deal with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, blended family problems and communication strain. His work covers caring roles, ageing matters, family of origin issues and separation or divorce challenges.
In sessions Martin aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be spoken without judgement. He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them weigh options for change. Conversations are practical and grounded in real-life problems rather than abstract theory.
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors his approach to the person in front of him. He encourages collaboration so goals and methods are agreed together. Over time he supports people to build clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more manageable day-to-day routines.
People looking to start are asked to use the service sign-up flow and complete a short matching questionnaire. That helps pair a person with a suitable therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.
Approaches and how online work can fit into life
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage emotions and improve relationships. One common approach he uses emphasizes talking through current problems and building practical coping skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. This helps with issues such as depression, grief and stress management.Another approach focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and attachment. Sessions explore how past experiences shape current reactions and help people try different ways of relating that can reduce conflict and loneliness. This is useful for family tensions, communication problems and feelings of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and circumstances. He invites feedback and adjusts plans as needed so the therapy feels like a shared project rather than a fixed programme.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a day, or offering options that avoid being on camera when preferred. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements can be made to suit your routine.
