About Martyn
Martyn Pars offers a steady, empathetic presence for men seeking help with life's pressures. He aims to listen, understand and support people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression and identity questions. Martyn makes space for practical coaching as well as counselling, and encourages clients to use their own wisdom when deciding what helps them most.
Martyn draws on four years of counselling experience gained in an employee assistance setting and in private practice. He has worked with a wide range of issues including ADHD, autism, grief, trauma and relationship or communication problems. He also has experience supporting people after later-in-life neurodiversity diagnoses and with fatherhood and caregiver stresses.
His work is grounded in client-centred principles that prioritise a warm, non-judgemental relationship. Psychodynamic ideas inform his curiosity about patterns from the past and how they affect present behaviour. Sessions may include mindfulness or meditation when that fits the client's needs.
Martyn holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is accredited through NCPS. He has completed training to work online and meets monthly clinical supervision with a senior psychotherapist.
He offers telephone and video sessions to adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. Prices vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. The counsellor provides empathy and active listening so people can find their own answers. This approach can help with stress, low mood, self-esteem and relationship difficulties.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current patterns. It helps people notice recurring behaviours and feelings and consider different ways of responding. That can be useful for attachment, abandonment and longstanding emotional struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martyn will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection, mindfulness or a mix suits their goals. He encourages an open conversation about what feels helpful and adjusts the way sessions run over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into work and family life and access from different locations within the UK. Telephone or video can reduce travel and make shorter check-ins simpler to arrange. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match your needs and schedule.
