About Martin
Martin Conway practises a person-centred, humanistic and integrative approach to counselling. He aims to create a calm, caring atmosphere where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to make small changes. Martin holds a BACP credential, which appears as BACP, and brings five years of experience to his work.
People come to him for many reasons, including depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He also supports topics such as relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy and body image.
Background and approach
Martin is comfortable offering both longer-term work and short focused work, depending on what someone needs. In sessions he balances a gentle, listening stance with clear, direct feedback when it helps. That means people can explore painful feelings while also getting practical ideas to try between meetings.
He describes his style as holding but straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel understandable and manageable. Martin has substantial experience working online. That experience helps him adapt conversations to fit how someone prefers to meet.
He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom, and he is able to take international clients. If a person is unsure where to start, Martin encourages a short initial discussion to agree goals and the best way of working. He asks people to think about what they want from counselling and offers a collaborative planning approach.

How Martin works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in the first meetings and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps make sure sessions match practical needs and emotional aims.
Martin's biography highlights substantial online experience, which can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel, allow quicker check-ins during a break, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Please confirm which specific session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list exact options.
