About Victoria

Victoria Martin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and changes in work or relationships. Victoria also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting concerns and struggles around self-esteem and body image.

She uses a mix of person-centred ways of working and more relational approaches. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client while also looking at patterns in relationships and emotions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship issues or intimacy concerns are central.

Victoria aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, name difficult feelings and practise new ways of communicating. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps clients try out different perspectives and behaviours. When past experiences affect present choices, she may explore those earlier experiences alongside current challenges.

Practical problems such as parenting strain, career uncertainty or coping with a diagnosis are addressed alongside emotional work. She helps people build strategies for day-to-day coping while also opening up deeper conversations about meaning and direction, including life purpose.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books an initial meeting. Victoria works in English and is available to people in the UK and internationally. Costs vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used and how online sessions can fit day-to-day life

Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities, helping people clarify what matters to them and make practical choices. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people express and respond to feelings more directly; this can be useful when intimacy or attachment is a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss which methods feel most useful and will collaborate with the client to decide what to try first, based on their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted as needed.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are provided, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or caring duties, allow quicker short check-ins, or remove the need to travel. Online sessions can make scheduling regular appointments simpler while keeping the same therapeutic focus on emotions, relationships and decision-making.
