Martin Sugg

Martin Sugg is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. He also supports those coping with addiction, grief, low self-esteem and motivation struggles.

Martin aims to build a straightforward, non-judgemental space. He encourages people to speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that get in the way of daily life.

In session he draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods are used to look at how relationships, thoughts and behaviours interact and to identify small changes that can make life easier.

Martin offers a steady, exploratory style rather than quick fixes. He works at a pace set by the person in front of him and pays attention to what matters most to them. His aim is to help people develop clearer choices and more reliable ways of coping.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practices in the UK. If you want to begin, the site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports building safer, more predictable connections. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s own experience and pacing, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or time is limited, while others choose longer conversations on video.
