About Regina
Regina Martins is a counsellor psychologist with registration at the Health and Care Professions Council and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She trained first in Psychology in Brazil and continued training in Psychodynamic Counselling in the UK. She also completed a year studying Trauma and Psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic. Regina works in English and Portuguese and has practised across health, community and education settings.
Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas and object relations, looking at how past and present experiences shape current behaviour. She pays attention to relational hurts and repetitive patterns that often come from childhood and family relationships. Sessions aim to help people understand how these patterns show up now and to open options for change.
Regina has 16 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also offers help with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, adoption and foster care concerns, addiction and self-esteem. Her background includes work with adults and older people in diverse London boroughs and with people from varied cultural backgrounds.
Her style is warm and attentive, focusing on what the person brings to the room. She listens for recurring themes and links past experience to present struggles. Together with clients she works to identify unhelpful patterns and to try different ways of relating and coping.
Regina invites people to explore difficult feelings at a steady pace. She encourages realistic goals and practical steps alongside deeper reflection. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and then arrange sessions according to availability.
Working online with attachment and psychodynamic approaches
Regina uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to guide online work. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person wants to talk about, which helps with low self-esteem, life changes and relationship worries. Psychodynamic therapy looks at past relationships and repeated patterns to help make sense of current feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and intimacy issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and will try different ways of working until the best fit is found. This keeps the work practical and tailored to what each person needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so people should confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, needing less travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also mean shorter check-ins when time is tight or using audio rather than video when that suits people better. Registered or accredited professionals can support steady progress through regular appointments and collaborative planning.
