About Martin
Martin Porritt is a counsellor who works from an integrative perspective and has five years of professional experience. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Martin aims to offer steady support when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.
He helps people who are dealing with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and anger. He also supports those coping with communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues around forgiveness and shame.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding the patterns that keep problems going. Martin’s approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. He listens for strengths and builds on them.
Conversations are straightforward and geared towards small, manageable change rather than jargon or long theory. People can expect a mix of talking, reflection and practical tasks between sessions. The work often includes learning new ways to manage emotions, improving communication skills, and exploring life purpose and self-worth.
Panic, mood concerns and sexual issues are also within his remit. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once you have chosen to begin.

Online support
Another approach focuses on skills for mood and panic concerns. This often includes breathing and grounding exercises, mood tracking, and practical strategies to reduce the intensity of panic attacks and lift low mood. These are concrete tools people can use between sessions to notice change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as things change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when convenient, phone can fit a quieter break or lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on making steady, practical progress.
