About Martin
Martin Sugg is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has 12 years of experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to create an open and non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings and situations.
He focuses on exploring how relationships, past experiences and current patterns affect day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people recognise unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. The approach is practical and rooted in real moments from a person's life rather than abstract theory.
Martin uses a mixture of approaches that draw on attachment ideas, client-led listening and structured cognitive work. He can support people dealing with trauma, abuse, intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, chronic health problems and caregiver stress. He also works with issues such as anger, career questions, bipolar mood management and the effects of major life changes.
People who come with concerns about parenting, relationship breakdown, codependency or communication problems will find sessions that look at patterns and experiment with different responses. Martin pays attention to how past losses or abandonment can shape current reactions and relationships.
He describes his work as a full and immersive therapeutic experience. To begin, interested people use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions to suit their needs and schedule.

How his approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people see why certain situations trigger strong reactions and supports steps to build more secure ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and being guided by what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and work at their own pace while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively to decide what fits best. He will talk through options, adjust based on how things are going, and combine ideas when that makes sense for the person's goals.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, making it easier to plan appointments around work, caregiving or travel. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins or meetings without video when that suits the person better.
