About Martha

Martha Burling is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional practice and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised UK counselling body. She supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem concerns and depression.

Known for creating an open, nonjudgmental space, Martha works with empathy to help individuals explore their thoughts and feelings. Her approach combines practical strategies and reflective exploration so clients can better manage day-to-day challenges and rebuild confidence. She brings experience addressing relationship and family concerns, trauma and attachment issues, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting and career stresses, and conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Martha also offers focused support for areas like body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with life transitions such as separation or midlife change. She encourages clients to take the first step toward therapy and frames that step as an act of courage, partnering with each person to find approaches that fit their goals and circumstances.

Approaches That Inform Online Therapy and How It Helps

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take steps aligned with personal values - an approach often used for anxiety, stress and persistent low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and intimacy; it can be useful for abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic presence that supports self-exploration and strengthens self-esteem and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Martha works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy lives or to access help when travel or mobility are barriers. These options allow ongoing contact between sessions, steady progress at a manageable pace, and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual.
