Martin Regan, BACP

Martin Regan is a UK-based counsellor who specialises in relational work and supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. With three years of experience, he offers a calm, steady presence designed to create a supportive therapeutic relationship that allows clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Martin emphasises the healing potential of positive, nurturing relationships and aims to provide a reliable base from which clients can reflect, process emotions, and move forward. He describes therapy as a regular space away from daily pressures where people can work through what is troubling them and gradually build resilience and inner strength.

Through collaborative exploration, Martin helps clients better understand how they process experiences and why certain patterns repeat. That understanding supports the development of self-compassion, acceptance, and renewed connection with oneself and others. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside relational principles to support practical change and emotional growth.

Martin speaks from personal experience of feeling stuck, pressured to appear strong, and ultimately experiencing burnout. That journey led him to seek help and to appreciate the difference a supportive therapist can make. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works to the organisation's professional standards and ethical framework for counselling professions.

Relational approaches and practical online therapy

Martin’s practice centres on relational work - creating a steady, supportive therapeutic relationship that helps people process emotions, explore relationship patterns, and rebuild connection with themselves and others. This approach is especially helpful for relationship challenges, family conflict, and difficulties with self-esteem.

He also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop coping strategies, make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings, and build resilience. These structured, collaborative methods focus on practical steps and skill development alongside deeper relational exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martin works collaboratively with each client to identify which combination of relational and evidence-informed methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Martin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, fit sessions into busy lives, and maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
