About Martin
Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration, which is listed as his credential. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.
He focuses on relationship and family matters, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating concerns. He also gives attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image and family-of-origin problems.
Background and approach
His experience includes helping people facing divorce, blended family stress and the pressure of caregiving. In sessions he works to build an open atmosphere where people can speak honestly. He encourages sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
The work tends to be practical and conversational, with space to reflect and plan next steps. Martin supports people dealing with communication breakdowns, control issues and problems arising from autism and Asperger Syndrome. He also addresses ageing and geriatric issues when they affect wellbeing.
Eating and food-related difficulties are another area he helps people understand and manage. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Therapy fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
International clients are not currently accepted.

How Martin works online
Another approach looks at how past attachments shape current emotions and behaviour. It helps people make sense of feelings like abandonment or emptiness and develop more helpful ways to respond. These methods are suitable when grief, family history or attachment issues are central to what someone wants to work on.
Finding the right method is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant to their needs.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as specific session types are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without travel and offer shorter or longer sessions to suit a break at work. It also makes it straightforward to continue progress when life is unpredictable, while the counsellor and client decide together what approach and scheduling fit best.
