About Martin
Martin Stubbs is a counsellor with 15 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He focuses on relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, ADHD and eating concerns. He aims to make the first step feel easier by offering steady, compassionate support.
He invites people to speak openly about painful thoughts and feelings. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and straightforward. The emphasis is on listening and helping people make sense of what is happening in their lives.
Background and approach
In conversations he works collaboratively to identify practical next steps. This might include improving communication, managing strong emotions, or finding ways to handle day-to-day tasks when symptoms are intense. He also helps people process bereavement and review patterns that affect relationships.
Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. That means interventions grounded in research and adapted to each person’s needs. He explains options clearly so people know what to expect and can choose what feels right for them.
Sessions are offered in English and use formats that suit different circumstances. The goal is to help people build coping skills and clearer thinking so they can manage present challenges more effectively. He welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into everyday life.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss different methods and adapt them to the person’s goals, symptoms and preferences. Together they agree what to try first, review progress, and change course if something is not working.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied needs. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language for richer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, frequent updates, or when writing feels like the best way to express thoughts. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
