About Victoria
Victoria Martin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among many other issues. Victoria focuses on helping people who are carrying guilt and shame, and those struggling with parenting, grief, addiction and self-esteem problems.
She approaches work believing the client is the expert on their own story. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and to make practical steps for change. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what the client can manage.
Victoria uses Client-Centred methods to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape relationships, and psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns that repeat over time. The Gottman Method informs her work around couple communication and conflict when relationship issues arise.
In practice she helps people untangle how guilt or shame link to their relationships, family history or personal choices. She supports people working through life changes, isolation, body image and intimacy concerns. Sessions include talking through feelings, noticing recurring patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.
Victoria accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the available session formats and practical arrangements for their location.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach allow the counsellor to follow the client’s pace and highlight the person’s own strengths and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings in relationships and helps people notice how their emotional responses affect closeness and conflict. EFT can be used online to map patterns and try new ways of responding in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the focus as goals and needs become clearer. That means deciding together whether to prioritise exploring emotions, relationship patterns, or past dynamics and testing what works across sessions.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also let people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from another time zone if you live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and adapt session length to suit work, family or other commitments.
