About Martin

Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on relationship problems, family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating-related concerns. He aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a welcoming, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings.

He creates a calm setting where clients can speak openly about what matters most to them. Sessions concentrate on understanding current struggles and identifying small changes that can help day-to-day life. He listens closely and works at a pace that suits each person.

Martin supports people coping with bereavement and end-of-life issues by helping them name complex emotions and find ways to manage them. He also helps with relationship tension, communication breakdowns and family-of-origin matters. His work addresses eating and body-image worries, feelings of emptiness, and stresses faced by caregivers.

Over his career he has developed practical ways to help people manage depression and ADHD-related challenges. He pays attention to how attachment and past experiences affect current relationships. When relevant, he looks at ageing and geriatric concerns alongside other life changes.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a straightforward, collaborative style. If you are ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people identify patterns in relationships and communication, and then practises new ways of interacting to reduce conflict and improve closeness. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss by creating space to name emotions, remember what matters and find coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. Together you can adjust the approach as the work continues so it fits what helps you most.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer a way to continue care during life changes. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a work break or a lower-bandwidth connection. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and comfort.
