About me
Hello and thanks for visiting.
“Initially it felt a bit alien but after a few minutes your quiet listening helped me relax inside in a way that I think I’d been looking for for a long time” (Recent client feedback)
My approach is based primarily on respect, coupled with the optimism that everyone has all the inner resources they need to bring about the changes they would like to initiate in their life.
Whatever you might be dealing with (e.g. anxiety, stress, depression, harmful behaviours) it is often surprising how speaking with someone who really hears your story, can be liberating. What may appear as overwhelming or confusing can become manageable and clear as perspectives begin to change.
Such change often starts with the initial step of making an enquiry, which in itself may feel a bit challenging, but as many would tell you, worth it in the end.
Please call me on 07846 827062 or email me (martin@healthyself.co.uk) if you'd like to arrange an initial session - either by Zoom or in person. Thanks again for visiting.

Training, qualifications & experience
- Masters Degree (Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy) 2012. The Masters course provided skills in three key therapeutic disciplines: Person-Centred, Psycho-Dynamic and Cognitive Behavioural approaches.
- I have spent the last 11 years working in private practice, prior to which I worked with the NHS in a busy practice setting while undergoing training.
- Until June 2018 I worked with the Addiction Support and Care Agency (ASCA) in Kingston-upon-Thames. ASCA also has a branch in Richmond.
- I am continually developing as a practitioner through workshops, professional meetings and study. Additional professional skills include 'Focusing' within a therapeutic context; Counselling for addiction; Working with Trauma.
- IFS (Internal Family Systems) April 2023 - the "emerging model of psychotherapy and psychology". The IFS model recognises the fundamental role of the Self to heal those parts of our psychological system which are carrying historic burdens.
- As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I am committed to sustaining and advancing good practice.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
