Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Emotional Support
Martyn uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to clients' needs. One common focus is skills-based emotion regulation work - practical exercises and strategies help people manage intense feelings, reduce overwhelm, and respond more calmly to stressful situations. Another approach emphasises trauma-informed processing - carefully exploring difficult memories and their impact so clients can make sense of past events and reduce their ongoing emotional burden. A third area of focus is relationship and attachment work - examining patterns in close relationships, improving communication, and addressing issues such as abandonment and loneliness to support healthier connections.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and Martyn works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He helps clients experiment with approaches and adapts the work over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy with Martyn can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a registered professional without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to continue when life is busy or circumstances change.
