Jill Martin

Jill Martin is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction issues. Jill also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, life changes and grief.

Jill works from a person-focused stance and believes clients know their own stories best. She uses that starting point to build practical steps forward. Sessions aim to spot strengths, set manageable goals and try out new ways of coping.

Her background includes long experience helping people with motivation, confidence and relationship concerns. She also has experience with anger, bipolar symptoms, obsessive behaviours and panic. Additional areas she pays attention to include first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, and end-of-life and hospice counselling.

Jill draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. These include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She chooses methods that fit a person’s situation and pace.

Jill holds the NCPS credential. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the UK. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Jill often uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the person; it helps when someone needs space to tell their story and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and some addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as you discover what helps most in practice.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. Different ways of meeting can also suit different needs - for example a shorter audio call can work when time is limited, while video sessions let you use visual feedback and shared resources during the conversation.
