Martin Stubbs, BACP

Martin Stubbs is a UK-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship strain, family conflict, grief and loss, and depression. He brings a calm, practical approach to therapy, helping clients explore their thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer communication and healthier patterns. Martin works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, issues around eating and body image, ADHD-related challenges, and the emotional impacts of aging, abandonment, and attachment problems.

He aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed and examined safely. Martin holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes affiliation with a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Over his career he has focused on supporting clients through transitions such as divorce and blended family adjustment, coping with loss, and managing mood and behavioral concerns.

Martin recognises that starting therapy takes courage and commends those who take that first step. He partners with clients to understand their goals and to choose practical, evidence-informed strategies that fit each person’s situation and preferences.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care with Martin Stubbs

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to relationship and family concerns, focusing on improving communication, resolving recurring conflicts, and rebuilding connection between partners or family members. These approaches help people identify interaction patterns and develop practical skills for healthier relationships.

He also offers focused support for grief and depression that combines empathetic listening with structured strategies to manage mood, adjust to loss, and re-establish daily routines. For people dealing with ADHD or eating-related difficulties, Martin applies skills-based methods that emphasise coping strategies, behavioral adjustments, and gradual habit change to address specific challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martin works with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then selects or adapts techniques that fit the person’s situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Martin can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access support from home while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in remote delivery.
