Counselling and Psychotherapy

Are you struggling with a situation or feel like you can’t cope?

Seeking help can be difficult, but I want you to know that you do not have to be alone.  I offer you a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable talking about your concerns and working towards making the changes in life you need.  

The benefits of counselling can include improved mental health, better relationships, and increased self-awareness. 

Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I am here to help.

Call or send a message so we can have an initial chat to see if I can help.

Supervision

For therapists, I am an experienced and qualified person-centred supervisor.

Martyn Blair

I am a builder and counsellor, offering a unique mix of a straightforward practical approach to situations,  combined with a warm approach.

I trained as person centred counsellor in 2008,  I worked as an  IAPT therapist within the NHS for 7 years. On leaving the NHS and have been in private practice since 20.

I have 35 yrs experience in the building industry, originally starting out  as a quantity surveyor and eventually Managing Director of a medium sized construction company.

I’d Love to Help

  Supervision

Person Centred supervision, or at least my version, holds the supervisee centrally as the best expert of their work, whilst offering gentle developmental challenges.

Forming the relationship between the supervisor and therapist is at the heart of good supervision, it needs to feel right for both. Please call for an initial free telephone conversation,  followed by a paid check session to check the potential to work together.

 

I share any relevant skill or experience.

I hope that supervision becomes the meeting of two colleagues in a shared professional experience.

I am an experienced supervisor, working now in private practice and prior to this in the NHS for Coventry IAPT. I qualified at Warwick University achieving the Advanced Diploma in Person Centred Supervision Of Counsellors and Psychotherapists in 2011.

I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work within their ethical code.

My Approach & Philosophy

A Person centred approach

A way of life

I see the person centred approach as a way of life that I try to live by both in the counselling room and elsewhere

You know best, you just dont know that….yet!

I believe that you know best your own internal world. This is different to other approaches that teach a model or structure

Who am I to tell you what to do, when you know best you just haven’t realised that yet perhaps.

The counselling relationship

This doesnt mean I am not active. Relationships require effort and the counselling relationship is no different. I do my best to get a sense of what your world might be like, feeding back what I hear. I accept you for who you are and what you bring, yet also letting you know what I am feeling and experiencing openly and honestly,  in the hope that it will help.

My additional training

I have integrated other techniques into my work and will offer these when it seems appropriate.

  • Animal assisted therapy inviting my dog buster into the room to work, it is optional and some choose not to work with him
  • Creative connections using a variety of creative methods
  • Mindful photography
  • Supervision

He really does seem to work magic with clients either in school or in private pratice
