Practical, relationship-focused counselling
About Victoria
Victoria Martin works from a client-centred stance to help people feel heard and understood. She combines human-focused listening with practical conversation to address stress, anxiety and relationship strain. Victoria is a BACP counsellor and she keeps language straightforward and down to earth.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people untangle patterns in their close relationships. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support clearer communication and rebuild trust after conflict.
Background and approach
A psychodynamic perspective helps her notice repeating patterns that have roots in earlier life events. Victoria has five years of professional experience supporting people through grief, trauma, addiction and major life changes. She also helps clients with parenting pressure, work stress, body image and self‑esteem concerns.
She is comfortable talking about mood disorders such as depression and bipolar alongside issues like anger and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conversational and aim to meet each person where they are. Victoria encourages small, practical steps alongside the deeper emotional work.
She works with international clients and runs sessions in English. People can expect a calm, collaborative approach that centres the client’s own perspective. Victoria invites clients to explore what matters most and to build clearer ways of coping and relating to others.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Victoria often draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, which suits gentle, paced conversation over video or phone. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationship patterns and helps people name and shift those patterns, which can be worked on through focused discussion and reflective exercises.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. It is normal to adjust the approach as therapy progresses so it fits the person and their situation.
Online sessions offer practical benefits such as easier scheduling and fewer travel demands. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit workday breaks, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching a format to what works best for the individual.
