Martyn has four years of counselling experience and worked in a large corporate employee assistance programme. That role involved a wide range of issues, including stress, self-harm and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. He also offers executive coaching and can provide package work on request.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and support so the person leads the pace and topics. This approach helps with stress, low mood, relationship difficulties and adapting to life changes.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel stuck, which can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences, adapting direction as the work unfolds. Sessions may include gentle reflection, practical strategies and optional mindfulness or meditation work when requested.

The biography notes training for online work, but specific session formats are not listed here. Before booking, confirm the exact session options available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and offering audio-based options if a video call is not desirable.
