In addition to working in Private Practice, I work for the NHS as a Counsellor for Women's Health at Peterborough City Hospital.

Hi, I am Martina and for the past two decades have worked with a wide range of clients (including children/young people and adults). During your life journey you may find yourself overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, feel weighed down by problems or painful trauma memories, have to deal with unexpected loss or crisis... Or perhaps you may want to focus on improving your relationships, changing unhelpful behavioural patterns, increasing your self esteem and confidence and overall personal growth. If you are looking for a professional therapist to support you in this process , I can help.

I work with a range of emotional and mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, mood instability, trauma, disordered eating, interpersonal relationship challenges, OCD and unusual perceptions and experiences.

Are you feeling anxious, worried, and not too sure where to start? Drop me an email and we will talk. I am MBACP registered Counsellor and Psychologist and I have experience providing short term and long term counselling.

Life can be difficult and stressful, and navigating its challenges can become hard. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, getting out of bed in the morning is hard, maybe relationships are difficult, you have worries about the future or the past is looming heavily in your thoughts.

I believe it is important to have ‘relational depth’ or a ‘connection’ between one another in therapy, and research has shown, the greater connection between therapist and client, supports better outcomes; therefore, I hope we can explore what life is like for you in a trusting, deeper and comfortable space. I am often told that I build rapport and trust quickly which allowed my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings when they are ready. I take a soulful and peaceful approach and sometimes like to use a little humour – we are all human after all!

I am a psychologist specialising in working with clients who have experienced trauma, have emotional difficulties and struggle to cope. You may have a range of symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, depression, hopelessness, anxiety; you may avoid people or situations that trigger distressing memories; you may not feel safe, you may be hyper vigilant and have learnt to survive the only way you can. Having these experiences can make you distrust yourself and the world, you feel unsafe in your body and withdraw from others. Healing from trauma is about restoring that sense of safety so you can rejoin the world again.

Hi, thanks for stopping by to check me out. It’s not easy to reach out for help and it can be hard to know what you need from the many services and therapists on offer. Like others I work with, you might find it hard to trust in people and open up. You may have gotten good at hiding your hurt and pain? Maybe you’re worried you’re making a big deal over things that you should have moved on from by now? Perhaps you’re ashamed that these things happened in the first place or feel embarrassed that they still bother you? It might feel wrong to feel sad when some things in your life are going well and others have it so much harder?

I know how difficult it can be to seek help when life is tough. Sometimes the idea of sharing your deepest thoughts and fears can be scary. Counselling can help you to begin to make some changes in your life.

Sometimes life can be a challenge and you just need someone to talk to. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or feeling a bit lost? Through working together we can find ways both to help you cope and resolve immediate difficulties and to talk about the links between your past and present experiences. This will give you a deeper understanding of what you are feeling and why, broaden your sense of who you are, and enable you to make effective, positive and lasting change. This could be through the use of talking therapy, and/or application of tools and techniques to help you on your journey.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma and distress, grief, addiction, anxiety, family, friendship, or relationship difficulties, issues at work, or major life changes? Maybe worries and intrusive thoughts are keeping you awake or stopping you from being able to fully concentrate. Maybe you feel in a rut, or feel an increasing loss of hope. You may be managing difficult feelings using methods that no longer work and you want to find different ways to cope. You may be functioning well on a day-to-day basis but struggle with inner conflicts and turmoil or have repetitive negative experiences which you would like to explore.

Asking for help is a big step, so it is important to find a person that you feel comfortable with. As an experienced integrative therapist, my main skill is in listening without judgement. I see different people from all walks of life. I currently run a Private Practice, and help facilitate creative mental health groups and workshops. I have volunteered with the YMCA’s youth counselling service and within the NHS, specialising in Women’s Health. I am an experienced Occupational Psychologist working with organisational change, veterans and people who have had short term prison sentences.

Life can be really difficult at times and I am here to offer a safe non-judgemental space to explore what is happening for you, to help you take back control and empower you to move forward. I am a fully qualified personal psychotherapist and counsellor and hypnotherapist working from home. Which provides a warm, safe and friendly environment.

Are you struggling with day to day tasks? Is it difficult to get motivated just to get out of bed or are you finding stressful thoughts coming to mind? I am a person centred and Autism specialist counsellor specialising in Anxiety and couples counselling. All sessions are in confidence, without judgement and tailored to your individual needs. Within sessions I work with you to achieve your goals and to help you through those tough times. Working together we explore today’s issues as well as past ones. By doing this we can get a complete understanding of your concerns and how to manage them allowing you to move forward.

Life can be overwhelming and confusing. Having a safe space to explore and process your experiences can be fundamental to recognising and understanding how your thoughts and emotions could be influencing your day-to-day life. Your wellbeing is important.
