Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support

Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people explore and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. These approaches focus on identifying the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and on developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, panic, and relationship conflict.

He also uses skill-building methods that teach coping, emotion regulation, and communication techniques to manage urges, process grief, and recover from trauma. These practical skills aim to support day-to-day functioning and improve interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy work and Martin treats it as a collaborative process. He will discuss options with each client and adapt methods to fit individual needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels workable and relevant.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from services. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to provide ongoing, consistent support while making it easier to attend sessions from wherever the client is located.
