About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who blends humanistic and integrative ideas into his practice. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment and client-centred approaches to help people understand their feelings and improve close relationships. He presents calmly and directly, aiming to make sessions clear and approachable.
Martin has five years of clinical experience and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, body image and relationship communication.
Background and approach
His experience includes addressing attachment wounds, abandonment fears and issues around codependency and commitment. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs. In the room he listens first and then helps people notice patterns in feelings and behaviour.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify core emotions and Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early bonds shape current reactions. People meet him online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and he has substantial experience running therapy at a distance. That experience means he is used to adapting exercises and conversations to suit remote formats and different communication styles.
Martin works from a person-focused stance that keeps the client’s goals central. He aims to help people build emotional awareness, improve how they connect with others and find practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are straightforward and centred on what the person wants to work on.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Translate Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions, then use that awareness to change unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-view. It is useful for recurring anxiety, grief, intimacy concerns and repeated relationship conflicts.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present reactions and closeness with others. This approach can help people understand fears of abandonment, codependency and commitment issues, and work toward more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That may mean combining Emotionally-Focused work with person-centred listening and psychodynamic exploration until a good fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities while keeping consistent contact with a therapist.
