Hi, I’m Martin
I’m an integrative psychotherapist with my main therapeutic model in Transactional Analysis, a psychotherapeutic model of relating to others and understanding our life scripts. I consider myself a relational and developmental therapist, meaning that we will do our work together through discussion and explore the lessons learned about the world in your formative years.
Alongside 4 years of training in Transactional Analysis, I have held over 150+ hours of work with clients. I also have over 3 years of experience working with clients in the charity sector on short-term “goal-focused” recovery using CBT-informed and solution focused techniques. My integrative style means we will find the methods that work for you.
My hope is that through our work, you can feel supported, understood, and empowered as you move towards your desired change.
The work
Maybe you’ve noticed a pattern. You keep having the same type of relationship. You’re feeling unheard or misunderstood. You feel stuck and something isn’t working.
You’ve come to the decision that it can’t stay this way. But don’t know where to begin.
Together, we can explore your situation, your behaviours, and the way you think and feel. I’ll support you in uncovering the roots of these cycles, the decisions made in early life, and help you to be more present in your actions.
Recognise it
Awareness is the first building block in lifelong change. Before we can make a new decision, we must first understand ourselves and learn compassion for the strategies we learnt to get by.
Change it
Once we see ourselves, hear ourselves, and hold compassionate space for ourselves, change can happen. Everyone has the capacity to change what isn’t working and I will support you to access this capacity within yourself.
