Martin Stubbs

Profile

I am a person centred counsellor working in Eastbourne.
I endeavour to provide a safe, non judgemental and confidential space within which one can explore painful and difficult issues. Whatever you are facing I can assure you that you will find me to be a sensitive and solid presence.  
As a curious and interested companion I will work with you whilst simultaneously being sensitive to the pace at which we proceed.

I have worked with people experiencing a range of difficulties including relationship difficulties, experiences of abuse, issues relating to eating, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, sexuality, and feelings of suicide.    

My philosophy, consistent with the person centred approach, is one which values each person as a unique individual with unique experiences, who, with the support provided within a counselling context has the capacity to find her or his own way forward. I passionately believe in this way of working and the respect it affords to those with whom I work.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I hold a post graduate diploma in person centred counselling and am a member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I hold a Diploma for Practitioner Skills For Eating Disorders awarded by The National Centre For Eating Disorders.

I also hold an Advanced Diploma for Nutritional Interventions for Eating Disorders.  

I have experience of working in a range of settings including the NHS where I worked for nine years with people experiencing severe and enduring mental illness.

I have combined experience of more than ten years within the voluntary sector spending seven years working with people experiencing suicidal thoughts, feelings and intent.
