About Martha

Martha Burling is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings 6 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work, supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, loss, low motivation, reduced self-esteem, and depression. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised credential for counselling practice in the UK. Martha adopts a compassionate and collaborative approach, creating an environment in which thoughts and feelings can be explored with empathy rather than judgment.

Her practice focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges while also attending to deeper emotional patterns that affect wellbeing. Sessions emphasise listening, validation, and joint problem solving, with the aim of helping clients build resilience and improve confidence. Martha acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and she respects the decision to start - offering steady support as clients take steps toward change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Martha Burling integrates evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying values-driven actions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people address intimacy, abandonment, and attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problematic habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martha works collaboratively with clients to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible. For many people, these options increase accessibility and help sustain regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists while working toward meaningful change.
