Martin Sugg

Martin Sugg is a counsellor with 12 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with anger as well as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to create a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without fear of being judged.

Martin uses straightforward, conversational work in sessions. He focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, name difficult emotions and try different ways of responding. Discussions often look at relationships and attachment, practical thinking skills, and emotion regulation strategies that can be used in everyday life.

He blends a few therapeutic approaches to suit each person. That might include Client-Centred methods that follow the person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to test thoughts and behaviours, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to work with relationship and attachment themes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the individual needs.

Martin emphasises a real, active experience in therapy rather than just talking about problems. He supports people to practise new skills between sessions and bring examples from daily life into the work. This practical focus helps make changes feel relevant and manageable.

People who want clear, down-to-earth help with anger, coping skills, or relationship strain may find his approach useful. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and fitting therapy into life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect and respond. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and addressing patterns that feed anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and everyday life. That choice can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also let people use shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose audio-only conversations if being on camera is difficult. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent alongside daily demands.
