Martin Stubbs , BACP

Martin Stubbs is a UK-based therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship challenges, family conflict, grief and loss, and depression. He holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a calm, practical approach to conversations about difficult emotions and life transitions. Martin focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and safely.

He works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps forward, whether that means improving communication in a partnership, navigating family dynamics, or finding ways to manage the emotional pain of bereavement and low mood. Recognising how much courage it takes to begin therapy, Martin aims to offer steady support and clear guidance from the first contact onward. His approach emphasises empathy, respect, and a straightforward commitment to helping people feel heard and understood as they work toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person's needs. He draws on structured, skills-based work that helps people learn practical strategies for managing low mood, anxiety, and everyday stress - this approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and building new coping skills. He also applies relational and family-focused methods to address communication problems, family conflict, and relationship strains, helping people explore roles, boundaries, and interaction patterns within their family systems.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work Martin does with each client. He will discuss options, listen to personal goals and preferences, and together they will choose the techniques that best fit the client’s situation and pace. This shared planning helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and mobility needs, and allow people to connect from their own environment while working with a licensed professional.
