About Victoria
Victoria Martin uses relationship-focused and person-centred approaches to help people find clearer ways forward. She works in a straightforward, warm style and aims to make sessions feel practical and focused.
Background and approach
Victoria holds BACP membership and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She helps with common daily struggles such as stress, anxiety and low mood.
She also supports people facing relationship strains, family tensions and parenting pressures. Other areas she addresses include grief, trauma, addictions and difficulties with self-esteem.
Victoria draws on the Gottman Method alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice patterns in their relationships, tunes into strong emotions, and follows the person’s own priorities in sessions.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Victoria listens, reflects back what she hears, and offers simple, practical steps to try between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s comfort level.
People often come for short-term focused work or longer-term exploration. Victoria supports clients who want help with communication problems, attachment concerns, body image, career choices, and navigating separation or life transitions.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Initial arrangements and scheduling are handled through the site’s matching process.
How relational approaches work online
Victoria combines the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on spotting interaction patterns and practical ways to shift them, which can help with recurring relationship tensions and communication problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on emotions and attachment needs to help people understand their deeper responses and build stronger emotional bonds.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That collaborative choice is reviewed over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a short check-in is required, while live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer typed contact or frequent brief updates. These options increase flexibility and let people keep continuity of care across locations.
