About Martin
Martin Sugg offers a straightforward place to begin when life feels overwhelming. He welcomes people worried about stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and low self‑esteem. He also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with change or chronic health challenges.
Martin uses plain talk and steady attention in sessions. He aims to make it easy to bring difficult feelings into the room. Clients are invited to describe what is happening for them and to set goals for change.
With 12 years of experience, Martin draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. He listens for patterns in relationships and emotional reactions, and then works with clients to try out new ways of responding. Therapy may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, exploring attachment and past losses, or practising skills for managing intense emotions.
Sessions focus on what matters now and on building practical steps forward. He invites people to experiment with small changes between meetings and to reflect on what helps. The style is collaborative and paced to the individual.
Martin is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. For many people, this approach helps turn stuck patterns into clearer choices and more manageable day to day living.
Using attachment and CBT approaches in online counselling
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. It helps when patterns of closeness, avoidance or fear of rejection repeat in adult life and affect relationships or self‑worth.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday struggles because it offers clear steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a practical plan together. This keeps sessions collaborative and responsive to the client's needs.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time and let people work from a quieter place. It also allows short check‑ins or more focused skill practice when that suits a client's routine.
