About Martin

Martin Stubbs is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience. He works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, and depression. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD and eating concerns.

Martin keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He invites people to talk about what feels hardest and looks at what can be changed step by step. Conversations focus on patterns in relationships, how loss is affecting day to day life, and practical ways to manage low mood.

He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes when these come up. He will also address communication problems, blended family strains, and caregiver stress. For people with autism or Asperger syndrome he pays attention to how social and sensory differences can affect relationships.

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. He helps people explore body image and eating-related issues without judgement and works with concerns linked to ageing, divorce and separation, or domestic violence when those topics arise.

Clients often begin by naming one or two immediate problems. Martin then works collaboratively to set small, achievable steps. He explains options clearly and helps people decide what to focus on next.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with costs varying by location.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and mood. One common approach is a problem-focused method that helps identify patterns in interactions and practises different ways of responding. This can help with communication problems, boundary setting and repetitive arguments. Another approach is grief-focused work that helps people name losses and pace emotional processing. Sessions look at practical coping strategies and ways to contain intense feelings between meetings. These methods are often helpful for people dealing with bereavement, separation or long-term sadness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try. He checks progress and changes emphasis when something is not working, so therapy is collaborative rather than fixed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as they are not specified here. People often choose online meetings to save travel time, fit a short check-in around work, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to offer continuity of care and practical access without requiring physical presence.
