Martin is grounded in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic perspective, drawing also from his training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and other perspectives. He has worked extensively with depression, anxiety, change, loss and bereavement, trauma, abuse, relationship and peer group difficulties including bullying, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, body image, sexuality and identity, alcohol and substance dependency, as well as the impact of Cancer and other medical and psychiatric illnesses on clients and families.
Martin’s practice has always been person-centered and diverse, and he brings clinical expertise and empathic insight to clients’ psychological struggles, to support and make sense of their distress, to facilitate meaningful change and growth, to build self-confidence, autonomy, and responsibility, and to improve their quality of life. Therapy also aims to increase self-awareness and distress tolerance, to reduce impulsive and avoidant behaviour, to increase positive emotions, and to build healthier, more stable, less conflicted ways of relating to ourselves, our families, and others.
