About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting worries, and a broad range of other issues including social anxiety and phobia.
Victoria works from the view that people know their own lives best. She listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps the client can try between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working and psychodynamic ideas to look at feelings and relationships over time. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques and aspects of the Gottman Method when relationship work is helpful. These methods are used to help with communication, attachment concerns and stronger emotional awareness.
People come to Victoria for many reasons - grief, addiction, body image, loneliness, career strain, and managing mood conditions among them. She also supports those dealing with guilt or shame, life changes such as separation, and issues around intimacy.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Victoria encourages people to set small, manageable goals and to notice small changes. To begin, the site match process is used to choose a suitable time and arrange the first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says to help them find their own way forward; it supports people who need a calm space to understand thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people identify and name core feelings, which can be useful for attachment concerns or intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and adjustments are made in conversation between therapist and client.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means someone can continue with therapy while living in a different country, since she accepts international clients. Practical details about timings and the match process are arranged through the site when scheduling an initial session.
