Martha Cheesman , BACP

Martha Cheesman is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years of focused, specialised practice. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she works to meet professional standards while offering a compassionate, person-centered approach.

She has supported people from a range of ages and cultural backgrounds, bringing an adaptable style that reflects the variety of human experience. Martha has trained in multiple therapeutic methods so she can tailor her work to different needs, blending practical techniques with reflective, meaning-focused work.

Her practice takes a holistic view of wellbeing, attending to the relationships between mind, body, and spirit. She integrates trauma-informed perspectives alongside mindfulness and existential ideas to help people explore purpose, self-love, and self-worth. These themes form the foundation of her work and guide how she supports others through hardship.

Martha places emphasis on making people feel heard, acknowledged, and valued. She aims to create an environment where individuals can rebuild a sense of worthiness and emotional health, even when facing difficult or traumatic life events.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behaviour. It helps people explore issues around intimacy, abandonment, family dynamics, and attachment concerns so they can form more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and acceptance so a person can discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and developing greater self-compassion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used alongside other approaches to provide both insight and tools for everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Martha works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and meaningful.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and support continuity of care for people in different locations.
