About Martin
Martin Conway is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He also supports issues around relationships, grief, intimacy and self-esteem.
Martin uses a person-centred, humanistic and integrative way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now. He listens, reflects and offers direct interventions when helpful.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment ideas often inform his work. That means he pays attention to emotional patterns and how they shape relationships. He helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and notice how those feelings affect choices and connections.
Martin also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas to look at meaning, life choices and past patterns. He can do shorter-term, goal-focused work or longer-term exploration, depending on what someone wants. He aims to be clear about the focus and next steps in each session.
He has substantial experience working online and with people who use different sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM. He also supports people dealing with body image, addiction, chronic illness, codependency and commitment or communication problems.
People who start work with him are asked to complete an initial questionnaire and to plan a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Martin often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. EFT focuses on emotional experience and can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and recurrent relationship patterns.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection styles influence current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy is part of his practice too, which means sessions centre on the person's perspective and priorities and progress follows their pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts the mix of EFT, attachment ideas and client-centred methods to suit what the person wants to achieve. The style and pacing are agreed collaboratively rather than imposed.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. He has a lot of experience working online, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Consider whether you prefer more frequent brief sessions or longer, less frequent meetings when planning how to make therapy fit your life.
