More about Martha
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a MBACP registered counsellor who has had the privilege of working with different people, ages and cultures. I have worked within the field for 20 years and in a more specialised and qualified manner within the last 10 years. I have studied a number of different approaches in order to understand the different ways your needs could be met. I provide a holistic approach to counselling by addressing the relationship and effect of the mind, body and spirit. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to include trauma-informed, mindfulness and existential aspects of life. Purpose, self love and sell worth are at the foundation of my work and making sure everyone feel heard, acknowledged and can feel they are valued and worthy of an emotionally and healthy experience despite the hardships and traumatic situations this world may throw at us.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have only had about 2 sessions with my therapist and it has been so helpful. I feel very comfortable talking to my therapist. She truly is a great listener. She has been and still is a big part of my mental health improvement .
She understands me and she is helping me figure things out. She makes me feel like i am important and I should take care of myself and not just everyone else.
Martha, has been nothing short of amazing. She listens so intently remembers everything and pulls the answer from somewhere inside you. I should have done this years ago.
She is a good listener, she is making me understand myself better .
Great!
