About Regina
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). Her training began with a psychology degree in Brazil and continued with psychodynamic counselling studies in the UK.
She has worked across educational, community and health settings and has carried out both long and short psychotherapy work in diverse London boroughs. Her background includes a year of study in Trauma and Psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic. She has experience supporting adults and older people and has a particular interest in people who have moved between cultures.
Regina focuses on how past and present relationships shape current struggles. She pays attention to relational wounds, repetitive patterns and family roots of difficulties. In practical terms she helps people notice where old patterns appear and talks through ways to change them.
Her sessions are grounded in psychodynamic ideas and attachment thinking, balanced with a client-centred stance that keeps the person and their goals front and centre. Issues she commonly addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
She offers therapy in English and Portuguese. The first step is to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How attachment and psychodynamic work translate online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In practice this means noticing how you relate to others, how you manage closeness and how past hurts influence present choices. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience in the moment and aims to keep the conversation paced around your needs and priorities. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and the roots of those habits, using reflection to help you make different choices.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and try different ways of working to see what fits. That partnership aims to match method to need rather than imposing a single model.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy routine, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can then help you decide how to use online work to support change and everyday coping.
