Martin Conway
Practical, person-centred counselling
About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who draws on humanistic and integrative approaches. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be direct about what is hard for them. Martin works in English and practises from the United Kingdom with five years' experience and BACP registration.
He focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He also helps with relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Additional areas of work include body image, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, and eating or substance-related difficulties. Martin offers both short-term and longer-term work. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which he has used extensively in his practice.
He accepts international clients and adapts his way of working to suit each person's needs. In sessions he uses person-centred methods alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas. This means he listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people notice patterns in relationships and feelings.
He can be calm and holding while also offering straightforward feedback when it helps move things forward. People who choose to work with him can expect a practical, down-to-earth approach. Conversations centre on understanding what matters to the client and finding steps that feel doable.
The process is collaborative, with attention to both emotions and the everyday choices that shape change.

Sessions & fees
How attachment and person-centred work translate online
Martin uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. This approach looks at how people seek closeness or pull away and helps name those patterns so they can change.He also works in a person-centred way that puts the client's experience first. That means listening closely, reflecting feelings, and helping clients find their own solutions rather than imposing answers. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs his work with strong emotions in relationships and helps people express needs and respond differently to distress.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. The first sessions are used to try things out and agree a plan together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus and continuity of care.
