About Martin

Martin Sugg works with people seeking better mental and emotional balance. He supports men who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self‑esteem and life changes. Martin aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable.

He creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Martin offers a full, immersive therapeutic experience that helps people test new ways of coping and relating.

Martin uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on client-centred ideas to listen and respond to what matters most to the individual. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Over 12 years Martin has worked with issues such as depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD. He also supports people dealing with grief, career stresses, compassion fatigue and long‑term health challenges.

Martin is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Readers should confirm current session options before booking through the site.

How different approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment‑based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. Online conversations can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of relating in a calm setting.

Client‑centred therapy is about being heard. The therapist provides empathic listening and follows the person's pace, which can be especially helpful when discussing sensitive topics in an online setting.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles. CBT tools can be practised during sessions and applied between contacts to see real‑world effects.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps you pick times and a structure that fit around work, caregiving or other daily demands. Many people find online sessions make it easier to attend regularly, fit therapy into a lunch break or avoid travel, while still working on the same issues as face to face.
