Regina Martins, HCPC, BACP

Regina Martins is a counsellor psychologist with 16 years of practice. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Regina trained first in psychology in Brazil and completed further psychodynamic counselling training in the UK. She has worked across education, community and health settings, supporting adults and older people. Her work in diverse London boroughs involved both short-term and longer-term psychotherapy with people from many backgrounds. She also has experience with expatriates and those from different cultures. Regina bases her work on psychodynamic ideas and object relations. She pays attention to how past and present experiences connect, especially how early family relationships shape repeated patterns now. In sessions she looks at relational trauma and ways people repeat familiar behaviours that no longer help them. Her style is warm and grounded. She invites clients to bring whatever feels difficult and to talk through it at their own pace. Together she helps people make sense of their experiences and consider new ways of relating and coping. Regina offers therapy in English and Portuguese. She practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with HCPC and BACP. If you are thinking about therapy, she asks people to begin by using the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in close relationships or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, using listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions and feel heard. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and recurring behaviours to uncover deeper causes of distress and bring them into view.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss what fits your needs and goals and will adapt her style in collaboration with you. Together you can decide whether to focus on past relationships, present feelings, practical coping, or a mix of these elements.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people who live further from clinic settings or who prefer meeting from a familiar environment. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to structure sessions that suit your schedule and goals, and Regina will help plan how therapy fits into your everyday routine.
