About Martha
Martha Cheesman is a BACP counsellor with ten years of more specialised practice. She works with people who face anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles, and she lists a wide range of related concerns including social anxiety and phobia, addiction, grief and self-esteem issues.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. She uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused methods. Sessions typically involve talking things through, noticing patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps day to day.
Martha describes attention to how thoughts, feelings and behaviour connect. She also pays attention to bodily experience and meaning in life, reflecting an existential perspective. That means practical steps such as coping strategies sit alongside conversations about values and what matters to someone.
She has experience with a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety, including parenting strain, career stress, intimacy-related issues, body image, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also notes work with topics such as abandonment, blended family issues and kink and alternative sex culture, when these are relevant to the person.
Martha speaks English and Spanish and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process and schedule a first session. The counselling subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online work using attachment ideas can help people notice patterns in relationships, feel understood, and practise different ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the person to find their own solutions to problems like social anxiety or low self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes to break unhelpful cycles. Online CBT-style work can include setting short experiments, trying breathing or exposure steps, and reviewing what helped.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will help clients decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as progress is made and things change.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and choosing quieter moments to focus. The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
