About Martin
Martin Sugg is a counsellor who aims to help people who are worn out by stress, anxiety or sleep problems. He works with people struggling with addiction, grief, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. He encourages a straightforward conversation so people can say what they think and feel without being judged.
Martin offers a calm, focused space where clients can explore what is behind their struggles. He pays attention to how relationships and attachment affect everyday patterns. Sessions look at thoughts, emotions and behaviour to find practical ways to cope better day to day.
Over 12 years Martin has worked with people facing many life challenges, including chronic illness, caregiving strain, bereavement and changes such as separation or retirement. He also supports people dealing with issues around intimacy, body image and work stress.
His way of working draws on client-centred listening alongside approaches that address emotions and thinking patterns. That mix helps people understand why they react in certain ways and try out different responses. Martin describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals and he offers tools to reach them.
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes. People who come to him often want steadier sleep, less anxiety and better ways to manage difficult feelings. To begin, users should confirm the current session options before booking.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in close connections. It can help people understand fears around intimacy, abandonment and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is collaborative and may change over time as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions around work and family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can pick what best fits your routine.
