About Martin
Martin Regan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He works with adults who are struggling with relationship tensions, family conflict, low self-esteem and motivation. Martin aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, steady presence where people can talk through what feels difficult.
He believes that caring, reliable relationships can help people heal. Sessions are intended as a non-judgemental space to think out loud, make sense of feelings and plan practical steps forward.
How Martin works
Martin describes his role as someone who listens, reflects and gently challenges when needed. Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand how they process thoughts and emotions. He focuses on building resilience and self-compassion so clients can manage stress and rebuild connections with themselves and others.
The work often involves identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of responding. Martin speaks from personal experience of feeling stuck and burnt out after keeping up a tough facade. That background influences his practical, down-to-earth style and his emphasis on gradual change.
He encourages small, manageable steps rather than sudden fixes. Martin holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works within their Professional Standards and Ethical Framework for the counselling professions.
His practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.

How Martin uses evidence-based techniques online
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make sense of feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on understanding thoughts and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood by practising different ways of thinking and reacting. Another approach centres on building self-compassion and emotional resilience, helping people to be kinder to themselves and rebuild confidence in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Martin works collaboratively to decide what fits best with each person’s needs, goals and preferences. He reviews what is working as therapy progresses and adjusts methods so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want to reflect before replying, or need support that fits around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
