He also works with people dealing with attention differences, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness. Family of origin issues, attachment concerns and communication problems are common topics he addresses. He has experience with care-related stress, ageing and blended family adjustments.
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. He explains options clearly and helps set realistic goals that fit into everyday life.

Practical approaches and online therapy
Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical help. One common approach is short-term, problem-focused work which looks at current patterns and teaches tools to reduce distress and improve communication. This kind of work is useful for relationship strain, depressive symptoms and handling grief.Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and family of origin patterns. Talking through these patterns helps people see how early relationships shape current responses and find new ways to relate and set boundaries. This can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, caregiving stress and blended family issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative effort and can be adapted as work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Ask about current session arrangements to choose what works best for you.
