About Martyn
Martyn Pars is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has four years' experience and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and coping with life changes. He also supports people exploring career questions, ADHD concerns, LGBT issues, relationships and aspects of family life.
Sessions are mainly by video or audio, with occasional messaging support. Martyn explains that most clients work with him for longer periods, though some prefer shorter blocks of 6 to 12 sessions. He also offers executive coaching and can provide package information on request.
Martyn's approach draws on client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. In practice he listens, reflects, and helps people think through patterns from the past that affect current choices. This can be useful when someone feels stuck after a relationship change, job loss, health setback or later-in-life diagnosis.
He has experience from an employee assistance programme where he supported people with a broad range of issues, including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, neurodiversity and workplace stress. Recent professional development has focused on working with autism, ADD/ADHD and dyslexia.
Martyn works with adults in the United Kingdom only. He asks prospective clients to use the site's matching questionnaire to arrange a first session and to confirm whether video or audio suits them.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what someone says so they can make their own decisions. It is often used when someone needs space to sort out a career change, relationship shift or feelings of emptiness.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current patterns. Sessions can help people who feel stuck by bringing recurring themes into view and thinking about how they influence present choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martyn will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan. That plan can change as sessions progress and needs become clearer.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. The original biography indicates Martyn uses video and audio as his main ways to work, with occasional messaging support, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings, or a session that does not require being on camera, depending on what the client prefers.
