Andy Martin

I am a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor which means my approach includes a range of theories that can support you. This approach means that my way of working can be flexible to suit your needs and support you the best that I can. I work relationally with person-centred and psychodynamic theories. Person-centred theory is all about supporting you grow and make the changes that you want. Psychodynamic theory focusses on understanding your past and previous relationships are affecting you in the present.

I offer a non-judgemental and empathic safe place for you to talk about and reflect on whatever you need to. I believe that you are the expert in what you are experiencing so you set the agenda for our sessions. It is through this process of talking about your experiences that you may find the answers you are trying to find. A trusting relationship between counsellor and client is incredibly important and we will work to build this trust by going at a pace that suits you. My role is to listen and support you find the answers that you may be looking for.

Before our first session I will arrange a brief introductory call to talk to you about what you can expect when you come for your first session. It will also be a good chance for you to ask any questions that you may have.
