About Regina
Regina Martins is a Counsellor Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 16 years of clinical experience. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and related areas including blended family issues and parenting.
She trained first in psychology in Brazil and then continued training in psychodynamic counselling in the UK. She also spent a year studying trauma and psychoanalysis at the Tavistock Clinic. This background informs how she notices patterns that come from early relationships and family life.
Regina has worked with adults and older adults across educational, community and health settings in London boroughs. That experience includes both short- and long-term psychotherapy. She has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and has a particular interest in supporting expats.
Her practice pays attention to past and present experiences, relational trauma and repeating behaviours that affect day-to-day life. Sessions look at how family dynamics and early attachments shape current relationships and coping. This can be useful for people dealing with loyalty conflicts, new stephouseholds, or changes in parenting roles.
She offers therapy in English and Portuguese. Practical steps to begin are provided on the site, including a short matching questionnaire and a way to schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are delivered via a cancellable subscription model.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect trust, closeness and responses to conflict. This can help when loyalties and roles shift in a blended household.Psychodynamic Therapy explores repeating behaviours and the influence of past relationships on current life. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and how old patterns show up in parenting, partnerships and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit the issues you bring, your goals and what feels workable in sessions.
Session options should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check-in when needed. Ask about the available session formats when you arrange your first meeting.
