About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred ideas to help people make sense of painful feelings and improve their close connections. Victoria is a BACP counsellor and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety and those facing depression or bipolar mood challenges. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, family conflict, and the practical effects of life changes.
Background and approach
Victoria offers guidance for those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and grounded. Sessions focus on identifying feelings, understanding patterns, and trying new ways of responding.
She listens for what matters most and helps people notice how past experiences shape current reactions, then practises different responses in session. Victoria also addresses concerns such as body image, self-esteem, social anxiety, communication problems, and isolation. She uses ideas from the Gottman Method to work on communication and conflict, and draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at repeated patterns across relationships.
People can expect a calm, steady style that encourages their strengths. Victoria aims to make time for short-term coping strategies alongside deeper emotional work. She works with people in English and accepts international clients.

Online support
How online sessions use emotion-focused and person-centred work
Victoria draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions, and to shift patterns that cause distance or conflict. EFT aims to make emotions clearer and more manageable so people can respond differently in relationships and in daily life.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s own experience at the centre of sessions. This approach emphasises listening, warmth and helping people access their own resources to make changes.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to use. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
