About Martyn
Martyn Pars offers calm, steady support for adults trying to manage stress, anxiety, anger or low mood. He speaks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood. Sessions are suitable for those exploring ADHD, neurodiversity concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, career questions or life transitions.
Martyn usually works by video or phone and uses occasional messaging when helpful. He has four years' experience, including time in a large corporate employee assistance programme where he helped with issues from self-harm and suicidal thoughts to gender and neurodiversity concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's experience guides the work. It helps when someone needs to be heard, build self-trust and find their own solutions rather than follow imposed steps.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and repeated ways of thinking or behaving. It can be helpful for people curious about why certain problems keep happening and who want to understand deeper emotional drivers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what matters most to the person. Choices about emphasis and methods are made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and keep a more conversational flow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when sitting down for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, ongoing check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
