About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a counsellor who uses a client-led, collaborative style to help people handle family and parenting concerns. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to move through difficult times. Victoria holds BACP which appears after her name as a professional credential and she has five years' experience in practice.
She commonly supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and parenting strain. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating concerns, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and problems with self-esteem and anger. Other areas she addresses include attachment questions, body image, communication problems and isolation or loneliness.
Victoria draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep therapy grounded in the client's priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method inform her work around relationship and intimacy issues. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now, and on steps a person can try between meetings. She emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental space and works at the client’s pace.
Victoria practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. The service accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How Victoria’s approaches translate to online therapy
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on what matters most to the person. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the client set the pace and agenda. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for helping people understand and reshape emotional patterns in close relationships; it can be useful when feelings and attachment needs are central concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor the methods to suit each person. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week and being able to connect without travel time. Online options can make shorter check-ins easier and allow sessions when people are balancing childcare, work breaks or other commitments.
