About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She emphasises the person in the room as the expert on their own life and looks to build on existing strengths. She welcomes people who are feeling stressed, anxious or stuck and offers a calm, respectful space to talk through practical concerns.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. Victoria supports people facing relationship worries, parenting strain and family tensions, and she also helps with grief and coping with life changes. She is familiar with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar challenges.
Victoria uses a mix of approaches to suit the person she is working with. Alongside Client-Centred Therapy she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and aspects of psychodynamic work. She may also use ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a focus.
In sessions she focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people identify small, manageable steps. She invites clients to explore feelings, behaviours and relationship patterns at a pace that feels right. The aim is to clarify what matters to the person and to build practical ways forward.
Sessions are offered in English and Victoria accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Victoria works from a client-centred position which puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening and supporting what matters most to them. Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard, naming feelings and deciding on small steps that feel doable. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape relationships and aims to help people notice patterns and respond differently in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Victoria will talk with each person about what they want to change and which methods might suit those goals. She treats that choice as a collaboration and checks in regularly so the plan can change as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or longer sessions when more time is needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online appointments to help therapy fit into everyday life.
