About Jill
Counsellor Jill Martin is registered with NCPS and has 17 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes in her own words. Jill offers straightforward conversations and practical strategies for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Jill uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. She listens without judgement and follows the pace each person sets. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is one of the methods she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behaviour.
Mindfulness exercises form part of her work when people want ways to manage strong feelings in the moment. Motivational Interviewing helps where changing habits is hard, such as stopping smoking or addressing process addictions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to find doable steps forward rather than focusing only on problems.
Jill aims to help people build confidence and practical coping skills. Sessions look at day-to-day routines and specific situations that cause distress. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship concerns, eating issues, mood problems and several anxiety conditions.
Her background includes many years working with individuals who face trauma, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive issues and life transitions such as divorce or end-of-life matters. She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace. The counsellor reflects what someone says and helps them make their own choices about next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm, steady conversation about difficult events or feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Jill uses CBT to identify patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and to try small, practical experiments that can change those patterns. It works well for panic, phobias, obsessive thinking and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity to strong emotions. Short practices can be used between sessions to manage stress, cravings or overwhelming thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree on methods together. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up conversations without a long commute. Different formats can also suit quieter check-ins, shorter appointments or sessions where being on camera is not needed.
