About Martin

He uses Narrative Therapy to help people name and reframe the stories that shape their lives.
That work often connects with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than jargon.

Martin also draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are central concerns. He helps individuals and partners identify emotional cycles that leave them stuck and practices new ways of responding. The Gottman Method is part of his toolkit for improving communication and reducing conflict.
Clients come for many reasons including trauma and abuse recovery, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He has experience addressing family of origin issues, attachment difficulties, control and jealousy, and the stress of divorce or separation. His approach is encouraging and solution-oriented.
He helps people set goals and try small changes between sessions. People can expect clear conversation, practical strategies, and a focus on what matters most to them.

Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online care
Martin uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify and rewrite the stories that shape their choices and relationships. That work helps when people feel stuck by old patterns or family stories and want to try different ways of living. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace to build on strengths and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his practice when thoughts and behaviors create ongoing distress, offering clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as needs change. People often blend narrative work with CBT or emotionally focused techniques depending on whether the priority is changing stories, thoughts, or emotional patterns.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work. Phone sessions or text-based messaging can fit a busy day or provide a shorter check-in. Live chat supports quick reflections between sessions. These options help clients keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and travel.
