Victoria Martin, BACP

Victoria Martin is a counsellor who works from a belief that people know their own story. She focuses on helping people build on their strengths to face hard moments. She describes therapy as a space for support and practical change, where small steps can lead to better days.

Victoria uses a collaborative style. She listens and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions often centre on understanding feelings, improving relationships, and finding ways to cope with stress and life changes.

Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as part of her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

Victoria commonly helps people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy and eating, and problems linked to addiction. Relationship and family matters such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and parenting strain are part of her caseload.

Additional areas of focus include attachment difficulties, body image, guilt and shame, hoarding, isolation, and questions about life purpose or careers. Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical, offering tools and conversation to help people move forward.

People who want to begin are invited to consider what changes they hope for and to take a small first step toward getting those needs heard and addressed.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. The counsellor stays curious and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and make choices that fit their life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and how patterns of interaction form; it is often used where people want to understand attachment and improve closeness or communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods make most sense for their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can adapt to what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. Online options can make it simpler to attend during a work break, to have shorter check-ins when needed, or to avoid camera use if that feels easier. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking to ensure they match personal needs.
