About Martin

Martin Regan meets people who are feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. He offers a calm, steady presence so someone can talk through stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, family tensions and low self-esteem. His aim is to create a gentle place to pause and begin again.

Martin works from the belief that supportive relationships help people heal. In sessions he keeps things straightforward and kind. Conversations focus on understanding how someone thinks and reacts, and on practical ways to build resilience and self-compassion.

Background and approach

He encourages clients to notice unhelpful patterns and to try small changes that feel realistic. The pace is set by the person attending, with space to reflect and to plan next steps. Over time the work aims to restore a clearer sense of self and improve connections with others.

Martin speaks from personal experience of feeling stuck and burnt out. That background shapes how he listens and how he encourages people to challenge stigma around seeking help. He shares an open, non-judgemental approach and aims to make the first step less daunting.

Martin is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has three years of professional experience in counselling work in the United Kingdom. His practice focuses on practical, relational support that helps people move forward with more confidence.

Relational approaches and online therapy options

Martin offers evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and on understanding how someone processes emotions. One approach emphasises building a warm, steady therapeutic relationship as a base to explore feelings and reactions; this helps with anxiety, stress and relationship strain. Another approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then testing small practical changes to build confidence and resilience. These methods are aimed at practical change and fuller self-understanding, rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then shape sessions together. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as the person’s needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
