Martin Porritt, BACP

Martin Porritt is a United Kingdom based therapist accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - with five years of professional experience supporting people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. He also works with concerns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, panic attacks, self-love, and sexuality, offering a broad base of support for emotional and interpersonal challenges.

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person, helping clients build practical coping skills while exploring the patterns and experiences that contribute to their difficulties. He approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and brings strengths that can be mobilised during change. That perspective guides collaborative work focused on realistic goals and sustainable progress.

Many clients begin therapy because the first step feels difficult; Martin recognises the courage that requires and aims to provide steady, nonjudgmental support throughout the process. He is available to work with international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and in-app text messaging to make therapy accessible across different needs and schedules.

Evidence-based approaches for online healing and connection

Martin offers evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasises structured strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, helping people develop coping skills for issues such as anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and addictive patterns. Another strand of his work is trauma-informed support, which prioritises safety, pacing, and understanding how past hurt affects present relationships and reactions; this helps people process painful experiences and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martin works with each person to identify treatment goals, prefered ways of working, and the pace that feels comfortable, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits individual needs and values.

Online therapy with Martin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible access for those with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live outside his local area. These options allow clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that suit them while maintaining continuity of care across changing circumstances.
