About Jill
Jill Martin is a counsellor registered as NCPS with 17 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and problems with motivation and confidence. She also supports those facing relationship and family concerns, grief, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and a range of other challenges.
Jill keeps sessions practical and focused. She helps people notice thoughts and habits that make things harder. Then she works alongside them to try different ways of responding. Conversations are direct and organised, with short-term steps people can test between appointments.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural methods alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness exercises. She uses motivational interviewing when people want help changing habits like smoking or process addictions. Solution-focused ideas steer work towards concrete goals and simple plans someone can follow day to day.
Jill has worked across a variety of settings over her career, gaining experience with trauma, first responder issues, end-of-life concerns, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. That background informs pragmatic techniques for panic, phobias, and seasonal mood shifts.
People who want straightforward, structured help often contact her to learn clear coping tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session to set initial goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, then turns those observations into short experiments a person can try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy underpins how she listens and reflects, helping people clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness Therapy provides simple attention exercises that reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety and cravings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences in the first meeting and adapts the plan as people try techniques and report back. That collaborative process helps decide which exercises and structures fit best for each person.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the supplied profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to use audio-only options if less bandwidth or a quieter setup is required. These practical features help therapy slot into everyday life while keeping sessions focused on clear skills and steps.
