About Martin
Martin Sugg is a counsellor with 12 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those coping with relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain and career stress.
Martin aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
Background and approach
He encourages people to set small goals and notice changes between meetings. His background includes work with trauma, abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas he pays attention to are attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress.
He also offers support around major life transitions such as divorce or bereavement. Martin draws on approaches that attend to emotions and relationships, alongside strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviours. He uses that mix to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
This gives space for feeling understood while practising ways to cope differently. Clients can expect sessions that are straightforward and collaborative. Martin encourages honest conversation and practical steps to help daily life feel more manageable.
He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears in his professional details.

Therapy approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses, helping people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeating relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following the client's pace and reflecting back what matters most; this suits people who need a steady, empathic space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss options and make choices together with each person, matching methods to needs, goals and personal preferences. That collaborative process aims to keep sessions focused and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break from work, and text or live chat allow ongoing check-ins and written reflections. These formats help people access therapy from different locations and at times that suit their schedule.
