About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by current or past experiences, struggling with anxiety or the aftermath of Trauma?
I am Martine, a compassionate and dedicated trauma informed therapist with 18 years experience helping adults, children and adolescents heal from the effects of trauma and reclaim their lives. I offer and integrative and creative therapeutic approach, providing a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your emotions and begin to understand how past events may be impacting the present.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, personal growth or difficult life transitions, I am here to listen, understand, and walk alongside you as you work towards healing and growth.
I believe that therapy isn't just about solving problems. It is about discovering the underlying patterns and emotions that influence our daily lives. Together we will work to uncover your strengths and build a path forward that aligns with your values and goals.
My approach integrates evidence based interventions tailor made to fit your individual needs.
I believe that healing from trauma is a deeply personal journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you are navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or emotional wounds from difficult life events, we will work together to build resilience, process difficult emotions, and develop coping strategies that empower you to move forward.
I am committed to creating a safe, empathic, environment where you feel heard, understood and empowered.

With the use of Somatic Therapy I specialise in helping individuals reconnect with their bodies to heal from trauma, stress, and emotional challenges. Drawing from the powerful connection between mind and body, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that goes beyond traditional talking therapy. I will work with you to access the wisdom held within your body, cultivating awareness and releasing stored tension and emotions that may be impacting your emotional and physical well-being.
With many years of experience, I will guide you through personalised sessions that integrate breath work, movement, mindfulness and body-based techniques. My approach creates a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore your bodies sensations and deepen your understanding of how past experiences may be affecting your present life. You may be dealing with chronic pain, ME, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Depression or Trauma and working to heal your body as well as your mind can empower you to break free from old patterns and step into an more grounded, resilient self.
I believe in the profound healing potential of the body and honour each person's unique journey. Together we can work towards creating balance, self awareness, and a greater sense of peace, health and vitality in your life.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
