About Regina
Regina Martins is a Counsellor Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and a psychodynamic counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She trained first in Psychology in Brazil and continued her study in the UK, including a year focused on Trauma and Psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic. Regina offers therapy in English and Portuguese.
She has 16 years of experience working in educational, community and health settings.
Background and approach
Her work has included supporting adults and older people across diverse London boroughs. She has provided both short-term and longer-term psychotherapy with people from varied backgrounds. Regina’s practice draws on psychodynamic ideas and object relations.
She pays attention to how past and present experiences shape current patterns. In sessions she looks at relational traumas, repetitive behaviours and the family roots of some difficulties. Her style is warm and patient.
She helps people make sense of painful or confusing feelings and to change unhelpful patterns. Conversations focus on what causes distress now and how earlier relationships influence reactions today. Regina has particular interest in working with people who have lived across cultures, including expatriates.
She has supported a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, addictions and identity questions.

Approaches Regina lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Regina works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which ideas to use. That collaborative conversation helps shape what happens week to week and how therapy is paced.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, doing therapy remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also lets people take part from different places and can support continuity of care when routines change. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using psychodynamic and attachment approaches, can adapt their methods to remote sessions so the focus remains on exploring feelings, patterns and relationships.
