Martyn Pars

Martyn Pars offers calm, steady support for adults coping with anger and related difficulties. He aims to create a space where people feel heard, understood and believed. Sessions are offered to individuals aged 18 and over who live in the United Kingdom.

Martyn draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person in the room. He listens closely and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that might be driving anger, anxiety or low mood.

He has four years of experience and has worked in an employee assistance programme offering counselling. That role involved helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supporting those who suspect they might be neurodiverse. He runs a private practice in Cheltenham and Gloucester and provides video and telephone sessions to UK adults.

Martyn describes his sessions as warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. He often works with people over a longer period, though some clients choose shorter blocks of 6 to 12 meetings. He trusts each person to decide how much time they need.

He is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and his practice is recognised on an Accredited Register. He has also completed online therapy training and holds level 1 membership with the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online. Martyn can combine talking work with mindfulness and meditation when clients want that included.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on understanding what matters most to the person. Online sessions can provide a space for that kind of compassionate listening, helping people speak about anger, stress or life changes in their own words.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks for repeated patterns and unconscious influences that affect how someone reacts. In remote sessions this can help uncover long-standing themes behind anger, attachment concerns or difficulties with relationships and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and decide together which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Collaboration helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

He primarily offers video and audio work and sometimes uses messaging for short follow-up. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a quieter check-in without travel, and support ongoing work across months when that is helpful.
