Martin Stubbs, BACP

Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on relationship strain, family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating concerns. Martin aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.

Martin works to create an open, non‑judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about honestly. He helps people name what is most worrying and looks at practical next steps together. Sessions are straightforward and paced to each person's needs.

Over his career Martin has supported people through separation, family conflict and caring‑role stress. He also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, body image, and challenges linked to ageing or neurodiversity. These additional focus areas guide how he frames conversations and priorities in sessions.

Martin values clear communication and practical problem solving. He will listen first and then help set small, achievable goals. That approach suits people who want to reduce overwhelm and build steady change.

People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short questionnaire and schedule a session. This gives a chance to describe current worries and to agree how to move forward together.

Approaches and how online sessions can help

Martin uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One approach emphasises talking through relationship patterns and communication problems to reduce recurring conflict and improve day‑to‑day interaction. Another approach helps people work through grief and depression by identifying small, manageable steps to re‑engage with routine and meaning. These ways of working aim to make problems easier to name and to create direct, usable strategies for coping.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Martin will discuss options, listen to what feels most relevant, and agree a way forward with the client. This collaborative process helps shape sessions around personal goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to schedule appointments around work or caring responsibilities. Check the session formats available before booking to confirm what is offered. The focus is on making therapy practical and manageable so it can be used alongside everyday commitments.
