About Martha
Martha Ash is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who want clearer thinking about stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. Anger, grief, addictions and self-esteem are also among the concerns she supports.
Martha invites clients to talk through past experiences and present challenges. She uses person-centred ways of working, which focus on honest, respectful connection between counsellor and client. That relationship is central to how she helps people reflect and make different choices.
She also draws on ideas from psychology and practical techniques when clients want them. These can include brief cognitive strategies or body-awareness work to help manage strong feelings. She explains options clearly and helps people decide what to try.
Martha describes her sessions as down-to-earth and straightforward. She does not offer quick fixes, but she works alongside people as they test out new approaches and ways of responding. She stresses the importance of finding a counsellor who feels like a good fit.
If someone chooses to work with her, she will talk through expectations and next steps at the first meeting. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Person-centred therapy puts the relationship first. It involves listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to talk about anger, relationship strain, grief or anxiety.She may also bring in brief cognitive techniques when a practical strategy is helpful. These techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. They can assist with managing anger, anxiety and low mood in day-to-day situations.
Choosing the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, and then try approaches together to find a good fit. That collaborative decision is part of early sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, please check which formats this counsellor currently offers before you book. The main practical benefits of online work are easier scheduling, reducing travel time and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Some formats can allow quicker check-ins or let people take part without video if they prefer less screen time.
