About Martyn

Martyn Pars offers calm, steady support for adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He introduces a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what feels hard. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical ways to feel better day to day.

Martyn uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of patterns that repeat or cause pain.

Background and approach

Conversations may include exploring relationships, attachment, or feelings rooted in earlier life events. He has four years' experience working in employee welfare and corporate counselling settings. There he supported people with issues ranging from workplace stress to self-harm thoughts, and with later-in-life neurodiversity concerns such as ADD/ADHD and dyslexia.

His background also includes executive coaching and mindfulness practices, which he can bring in when helpful. Sessions are offered to adults in the United Kingdom and are mainly delivered by video or phone, with occasional messaging support. Martyn works with adults facing relationship strain, career change, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anger, loss and other life transitions.

He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and engages in regular clinical supervision. Martyn aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship and to help each person decide whether short-term work or longer-term therapy best meets their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens closely and follows what you bring, helping you make choices and find your own solutions. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns and feelings that come from earlier relationships and life events. It helps people understand why certain emotions or reactions keep returning, which can be useful for attachment issues, trauma and persistent relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Martyn will work with each person to decide whether a more present-focused, client-centred style or a deeper psychodynamic focus suits their goals. He will adapt the work over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, and text or chat works for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare or other commitments.
