About Martin
Martin Sugg is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with adults who want to manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and anger. He also supports people facing sleep or eating issues, career change, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Martin keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what is happening now and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that drive reactive behaviour. He uses grounded, conversational methods rather than technical jargon. Sessions are aimed at making patterns clearer and testing small changes that reduce repeated outbursts or simmering resentment.
His approach draws on attachment ideas and client-centred principles to explore how early relationships shape current responses. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking, and dialectical skills help regulate intense feelings. Emotion-focused work can help people reconnect to what matters in close relationships.
Martin describes therapy as an immersive process where clients can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. He helps people set practical goals, such as reducing snapping at loved ones, managing anger at work, or coping when someone else is angry at home. Progress is discussed in simple, measurable steps rather than vague promises.
Sessions are conducted in English and Martin welcomes international clients. Before booking, people are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling through the platform’s matching and booking tools.
How sessions work
How his main approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present reactions. Online sessions can focus on patterns of closeness and distance and how those patterns show up as anger or avoidance in daily life. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation centred on the client's experience. The therapist uses listening and reflection to help people clarify feelings and make practical choices rather than imposing solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will review options with the client and agree on methods together. That collaboration includes picking techniques from CBT or DBT when useful, and checking in regularly to see what feels most helpful for reducing reactivity and improving communication.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into an everyday schedule. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and fit sessions into a break at work. For issues like anger, this can make regular practice and quick follow-ups simpler to arrange, while the therapist and client test small changes between meetings.
