Martin Stubbs, BACP

Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP, and has worked across a range of common life difficulties. He aims to make the first step easier for people who are unsure about starting therapy.

Martin focuses on relationship strain, family tensions, grief and loss, and depression. He also helps people facing ADHD and eating-related concerns. He supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment questions and the stresses that come with caregiving.

In sessions he keeps things straightforward and non-judgemental. He encourages people to say what they feel and to look at how patterns affect everyday life. Conversations often cover communication problems, family of origin issues and navigating separation or divorce.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand what they want and what gets in the way. Work can include looking at body image concerns, control issues and the loneliness that sometimes follows big life changes. Martin also offers support around ageing and blended family dynamics.

People who come to him tend to want practical conversation and a calm, steady approach. He asks questions, listens, and then works with each person to set realistic next steps. If you are wondering whether therapy could help, he invites you to take the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make sense of feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on talking through relationships and communication - it helps people see how interactions contribute to recurring arguments or distance. Another helpful technique looks at mood and behaviour linked to depression and grief, aiming to identify small, manageable steps that lift day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different ways of working and tailor the plan to a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps decide what feels useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make short check-ins simpler and allow people to join from wherever they are based in the United Kingdom. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments are offered.
