Dr Lee Martin
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP Snr. Accred
Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Are you navigating life's pressures and recognizing yourself in any of these experiences as you consider therapy? "I feel misunderstood—like nobody truly sees what I'm going through." "I pour myself into caring for others, while my own needs quietly fade away." "Work has become a source of exhaustion, leaving me depleted and burnt out." "I'm torn between what matters in my career and what matters in my life." "I reach for escapes—work, food, drink, sex, or substances—to quiet the pain." "I sense I'm standing at a turning point, and I'm not sure how to move forward."

I welcome people with a wide range of issues and recognise that most people do not bring issues that can be easily defined as a single category. You may have recently experienced a crisis in your life, such as bereavement, loss of a relationship, trauma or illness. Or perhaps you are less clear about why you are finding it hard to cope, you might be feeling anxious, stressed or experiencing unpredictable emotional swings but not be sure about why this is happening. Or maybe you are finding the process of ageing difficult and unsettling.

Approaching therapy can be a frightening decision but going through difficult moments in life alone may be even worse. You might be feeling hurt or uncertain about what is happening. There may be specific patterns of behaviour that come up that you do not understand or simply you might feel adrift, angry or anxious, struggling with the challenges you are facing. I aim to make therapy a place for you to come and really look at what is going on, so together we can begin to see things from a new angle. I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP.

Many of the people I work with know themselves pretty well. They've done the reading, maybe even the therapy. They understand where things come from. And yet something still hasn't shifted. Some come not in crisis but out of curiosity. They have a sense that there is more to understand about themselves, and that life could be lived with greater depth. Others are carrying the effects of burnout, trauma, prolonged stress, or the effects of having to adapt to survive while growing up. I have a particular interest in neurodivergence: I live with ADHD myself, which gives me both personal and professional understanding.

If you’re reading this, something in your life may feel heavy, overwhelming or stuck. Maybe you’ve been carrying anxiety for a long time, repeating old patterns in relationships or feeling disconnected from who you are. You might look “fine” on the outside while inside things feel tangled, uncertain or too much to hold alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface and begin to feel more like yourself again.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel disconnected from ourselves and others. But you don’t have to navigate that alone. The therapeutic relationship offers a powerful space for reconnection, reflection and challenge. As an integrative counsellor I pay particular attention to how identity such as gender, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, and neurodiversity shapes our experiences. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe to bring your whole self to therapy. I take a holistic approach to therapy, working with the mind-body-spirit connection to process emotions more fully and support increased self-awareness.

My work is integrative, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and transpersonal approaches.
When we are lost and unable to see the way forward, sometimes the wisest course of action is to stop. Resistance is as important as acceptance. Resistance tells us something essential about how you have experienced the world around you, and what you have needed to do in order to survive it. Our wounding forms protective structures around us, and these parts deserve compassion rather than judgement. Through acknowledgement of pain, and through compassionate enquiry into the parts of ourselves formed to protect us from it, fertile ground for change can emerge. By standing still, we can move forward.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
