About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who draws on existential ideas to help people make sense of difficult life questions. He works in a calm, direct way and aims to create a steady space where people can talk through what matters most to them. He focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and addiction.
He also helps with relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy. His practice includes work with body image, attachment concerns and codependency among other areas.
Background and approach
Martin uses an integrative approach that combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic and emotionally-focused elements. That means sessions can include open conversation, attention to feelings in relationships, and looking at patterns that repeat over time. Existential themes - such as meaning, choice and personal responsibility - are woven in when they help a person understand their situation.
He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs. He has five years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP on his profile. Martin works online regularly and can meet people across the United Kingdom and beyond.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short questionnaire and book according to availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches online and what they offer
Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice and the things that feel empty or overwhelming. It can help when someone is wrestling with life direction, loss of purpose or distress that follows big life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance, and supports building more supported ways of relating to others.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being heard. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathic listening and helps people discover their own solutions through steady, non-judgemental dialogue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on a person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to immediate problems as well as longer-term concerns.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and understanding.
