About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred style to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She holds BACP registration and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Victoria aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and able to make changes at their own pace.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s lead and build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when there are painful patterns in close relationships and when people want clearer emotional connection. The Gottman Method informs practical skills for communication and conflict that can be used day to day. Victoria also uses psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns from the past that shape current choices.
In sessions she balances exploring underlying issues with simple, practical steps people can try between meetings. That mix suits people who want both understanding and concrete change. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including parenting, family stress, grief, addiction and mood difficulties.
Victoria offers straightforward support for body image, self-esteem, work stress and life transitions as well. She is experienced supporting people with trauma, intimacy questions and issues around identity. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
Victoria encourages small experiments and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She supports people to find clearer ways of communicating, to manage strong emotions, and to build on what already works in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person’s experience and help them feel understood. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s priorities so sessions adapt to whatever feels most pressing. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns cause pain; it helps people identify emotions and change interaction cycles to create more stable connections.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Victoria will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and needs. Together you can try different ways of working and agree what to focus on from one session to the next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a therapy-like conversation; phone calls suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can help with brief updates, reflection between meetings or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and busy days while keeping the focus on what you want to address.
