Joan Martin

I aim to create a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. While my approach is firmly rooted in the humanistic traditions of person centred therapy and existential therapy, I also integrate elements from other established theories and techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness approaches. My qualifications include a BA hons in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BA in Psychology and I am committed to ongoing professional development to stay up to date with the latest research and techniques. 

I believe the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to counselling, this vital bond between therapist and client is built on trust, empathy and collaboration. With understanding and support I provide gentle guidance allowing you to progress at your own pace and gain self-awareness and insight into your challenges thus fostering personal growth, healing and positive change.

Working as an Integrative Counsellor, my approach to counselling is grounded in the belief that every individual is unique and as such, there is no one-size fits all solution to the challenges we face. With a strong academic foundation including a first class honours degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a wealth of practical experience, I bring a deep understanding of human behaviour and psychology to our sessions.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of therapeutic techniques and theories, I tailor my counselling sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe that the most transformative counselling relationships are built on trust, empathy and collaboration.

My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood and valued. Together we will work towards uncovering your strengths and resilience, empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life.
