About Martyn
Martyn Pars is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years’ experience. He works with adults in the United Kingdom on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger and depression, and supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship strain, grief and career stresses.
Sessions are mainly by video or telephone, with occasional messaging support. He has experience from working in a large corporate employee assistance programme and now sees adults in private practice based in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Martyn also offers executive coaching and package options on request.
In sessions he aims to listen, understand and support people as they talk through what is causing them difficulty. He draws on Client-Centred methods to focus on the person’s perspective and on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that reoccur in relationships and feelings.
He has worked with people who have later-in-life diagnoses or suspected neurodiversity, including ADD/ADHD and dyslexia, and continues professional development in that area. Martyn meets an experienced psychotherapist in regular supervision as part of his clinical practice.
Clients looking for help with issues such as anger, coping with life changes, attachment and communication problems can expect a mix of talking therapy and practical coaching tools. He describes many clients as preferring longer-term work but also supports shorter focussed blocks of sessions when that fits better.
Sessions are conducted in English and are for individual adults aged 18 and over in the UK only. He uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening and reflecting back what the client says, which can help when people are managing anger, stress or relationship problems.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from past relationships that show up now. In online work this can help people notice repeated ways of reacting when they feel resentment, lose their temper, or struggle with control issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martyn will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. If clients prefer not to use video, audio sessions can be easier on bandwidth or suit a shorter check-in. Session formats are stated in the profile, but please confirm the current options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
