    About Jill

    Jill Martin, NCPS, supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She works with concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and anger problems, and difficulties around motivation. Her approach aims to help people take small, manageable steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

    Jill frames people as the experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. She uses practical conversations to help clients clarify goals and find momentum. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she draws on to help people find their own reasons for change.

    Her practice also includes elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help with thinking patterns and staying present. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term goal work, so sessions often focus on clear next steps rather than long lists of problems. Sessions are straightforward and geared towards what the person wants to try next.

    Jill has 17 years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown as her credential. She works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. If someone prefers a counsellor who listens, reflects and encourages realistic action, Jill aims to provide that kind of support.

    To begin, she asks people to consider what change would feel most valuable. Conversations in early sessions centre on small, practical adjustments and ways to build confidence. Over time the focus can shift to preventing setbacks and sustaining progress.

  2. How Jill uses practical therapies in online work

    Jill draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and build motivation from within. This approach focuses on listening, asking reflective questions and helping people weigh up what matters to them. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on empathetic listening and responding so the person feels heard and understood.

    She often combines these with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT tools can help with anxiety, low mood, panic and problematic habits by breaking problems into manageable parts and testing small changes. Throughout, she works collaboratively; finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together based on needs, goals and preferences.

    If you are thinking about online therapy, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, education or family routines and can reduce travel time. Some approaches suit shorter check-ins while others work well for longer conversations, and the therapist will help adapt sessions to your day-to-day life and the pace you prefer.
