Martyn Pars offers calm, steady support for adults in the United Kingdom. He aims to create a space where people feel heard, believed and understood. Sessions are usually by video or phone, with some messaging as a supplement.

Martyn works with adults over 18 who want practical help with difficult feelings and life challenges. He draws on client-centred approaches that focus on the person's own experience and pace. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings.

Background and approach

Together these approaches help when someone struggles with anxiety, low mood, anger or major life changes. Martyn has four years of clinical experience and has worked within a large corporate employee assistance programme. That role involved supporting people with stress, depression, suicidal ideation, neurodiversity concerns and relationship difficulties.

His practice also supports people exploring later-in-life diagnoses such as ADHD, dyslexia and autism. He is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS. Martyn undertakes regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development, particularly in working with neurodiversity.

He also offers executive coaching for those seeking performance and career support. Sessions can be short-term or extend over a longer period, depending on the person's needs. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions by video or phone according to the listed availability.

Approach-led online therapy for practical change

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows your pace, listens carefully and helps you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for handling anxiety, stress and day-to-day life decisions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and feelings that repeat over time. It can help make sense of relationship difficulties, attachment issues and long-standing emotional struggles by exploring how past experiences shape present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. He adapts the balance between listening-led client-centred work and more exploratory psychodynamic work depending on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or when people prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy lives while keeping the focus on steady progress.
