Regina Martins, HCPC, BACP

Regina Martins is a counsellor psychologist with 16 years of experience. 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 later studied psychodynamic counselling and trauma-related work in the UK.

She has worked across educational, community and health settings, including services in diverse London boroughs. Much of her practice has involved both short and long-term psychotherapy with adults and older adults. She also has experience supporting people from different cultures and those living away from their home country.

Regina draws on psychodynamic ideas and object relations to look at how past and present experiences shape current patterns. She pays attention to relational trauma, repetitive behaviours and family roots of difficulty. Sessions focus on understanding how these patterns affect daily life and relationships.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She invites people to bring what troubles them and talks things through together. The aim is to make sense of experiences, reduce unhelpful patterns and help people move towards a more satisfying life.

Regina offers therapy in English and Portuguese. She works in the United Kingdom and is registered with HCPC and BACP. If you are considering therapy, check the booking steps and session arrangements before you begin.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises relationships and emotional bonds. It looks at how early connections influence reactions in adult life and can help when trust, intimacy or closeness feel difficult. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions and supports for change. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that repeat over time, often tracing them back to family or early life; it helps bring those patterns into view so they can be changed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which ideas to use. That collaborative choice can shift as therapy progresses and new issues come up.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy if they have relocated or have schedules that make in-person sessions harder to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while helping clients build practical steps for change.
