About Victoria

Victoria Martin works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, and other life challenges using a person-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central to the problem. Her practice includes psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.

She helps people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and body image concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar-related struggles. Victoria also supports people with anger, isolation, social anxiety, and issues around intimacy and sexual wellbeing.

Practical concerns such as career stress, communication problems, hoarding, and the strain of divorce or separation are part of her work. She also takes on matters connected to parenting, family conflict, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue among caring professionals.

Sessions follow a conversational, client-led structure where Victoria listens, reflects, and explores patterns together with the client. She helps people identify options and small steps they can try between sessions. The overall aim is to help clients manage current difficulties and build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Victoria commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the client's experience and the counsellor reflecting back what the client brings. This approach is useful for general stress, low mood and building confidence to make changes.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for work that centres on strong emotions and relationship patterns. EFT helps people understand and rework how they respond to attachment needs and emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the first discussions. The counsellor will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day circumstances. This is a collaborative process and may adapt as the work progresses.

The practical benefits of online sessions include greater flexibility to fit counselling around work or family life and the ability to meet without travelling. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to keep to a weekly rhythm or to fit shorter check-ins into a busy schedule.
