Jill Martin

Jill Martin is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger and addiction. She works with those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, life changes and grief. Jill speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She uses a client-centred style that treats the person as the expert in their own life. That means conversations centre on each person's priorities, strengths and choices. Jill also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new coping skills.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help people stay present and manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants support finding the drive to change habits such as smoking or process addictions. Solution-focused ideas help set small, achievable goals between sessions.

Jill has 17 years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. Her approach is practical and collaborative - she explains options and helps people try things that suit their lives. Small steps are encouraged and progress is reviewed often.

Sessions are offered in English and take place within the United Kingdom. If a reader is unsure whether Jill is the right fit, she encourages an initial conversation to see how her ways of working might match the person’s goals.

How Jill adapts talking therapies for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone wants a space to make sense of feelings such as anger, grief or anxiety, and to build on their own strengths and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It is useful for reducing anxious or angry reactions by practising different ways of thinking and new coping actions between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding exercises. These can reduce reactivity and help manage strong emotions in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that match the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and reviewed as progress is made.

The original profile does not list which session formats Jill uses, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or using audio-only if video is difficult. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well across different session styles.
