About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and five years of experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties. She also helps with relationship and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and addiction.
Her style is straightforward and supportive, aiming to help people feel heard and able to make changes. Victoria believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on.
Background and approach
She uses that belief to create a calm space where practical steps can be tried. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, improving communication, and finding useful coping tools. Her work draws on client-centred ideas that prioritise the person's experience.
She also uses emotionally-focused ways of working to look at patterns in relationships. Elements of the Gottman Method are used when relationship dynamics are a focus, and psychodynamic ideas help when past patterns affect present life. People may come for help with attachment and body image issues, social anxiety, hoarding, or guilt and shame.
She also supports those facing career stress, compassion fatigue, intimacy issues and eating difficulties. The aim is to translate insight into small, manageable changes. Victoria uses clear language and short-term goals when needed.
She asks about what matters to each person and works together to set realistic steps. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. To begin, she guides people through an initial matching and scheduling process so sessions fit into everyday life.

How Victoria works online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and aims to change how people respond to each other. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, attachment issues or repeated conflict in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the way sessions run as understanding grows. This collaborative choice helps keep sessions useful and relevant.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week or when travel is difficult. People often find it simpler to attend from whatever location suits their schedule, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Please confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
