Stop scrolling for answers.
Start making change.

You've read the articles, saved the posts, and spent late night after late night trying to figure out why you feel stuck.Insight is a great start, together we'll create real and lasting change.

If you've been searching for answers, you're not alone.

When overwhelmed or stuck, it’s understandable that you might turn to Google, Large Language Models, podcasts, or social media to make sense of things. It’s a sign that you want to change and are actively looking for a way forward.But you might be noticing that even with all this new insight:- You still feel stuck in the exact same emotional cycles- Knowing why you feel a certain way hasn't stopped it from happening- Information has given you awareness, but not necessarily relief- When discomfort arises, you still avoid it with scrolling, eating, or constantly keeping busyTherapy isn't about collecting more information about your problems. It is about having a real, human space to unpack why those patterns exist and how to break them.Together, we take the insights you've gathered and turn them into meaningful, lasting change.

An active, conversation approach

I’m Martin, an NCPS accredited therapist working in person in Chichester and Littlehampton, and online across the UK.My practice is rooted in Transactional Analysis (TA), a practical, down-to-earth model of therapy designed to help you understand:- How past relational patterns shape your present choices- Why part of you wants change while another part stays stuck- How to step out of familiar survival modes and build genuine autonomyNo clinical jargon without real-world meaning. No endless nodding (well, maybe a little nodding). Just human and collaborative work.

Chichester

In Chichester I hire room space at The Pavilion located on Graylingwell Park - these rooms are comfortable and the beautiful park allows for walking sessions during the drier months.For more information on accessing The Pavilion, including parking, please see their guidance [here] (https://thepavilionchichester.com/contact/)

In Littlehampton, I hire room space on Maltravers Drive. This is a short walk from the centre of town, has plenty of roadside parking, and is accessible via several bus routes.

More about Martin

My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of feeling completely lost at sea. Through my early life and into my twenties, I felt directionless and disempowered. It was through my own therapy, alongside a decade of personal learning, that I discovered a genuine passion for life. I now consider it a privilege to support others in creating that same lasting change for themselves.I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I completed my advanced clinical training at The Link Centre, where I developed my deep focus on Transactional Analysis and relational therapy.Alongside my private practice, I have extensive experience working in the mental health charity sector as a coordinator for West Sussex Mind. In that role, I delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) informed interventions, ran group workshops, and supported hundreds of people within our local community. This time gave me invaluable insight into how local medical systems handle mental health, and it taught me how to provide a more rounded, down-to-earth therapeutic environment.I bring the whole of this background into our sessions. I don't operate from a cold, clinical script; I bring real-world experience, absolute respect for your story, and a commitment to working alongside you as an equal partner.
