Online & In-Person
Life Coaching & Counselling

When I contacted Martin I was going through a tumultuous time both at home and at work. Life coaching has been the cherry of the cake in terms of achieving my goals and manifesting more than I could possibly have ever thought of. I see life coaching as the second stage of counselling, the minute you comprehend and are in synchrony with yourself, life coaching is the natural next step to follow. There have been occasions where I prefer/request counselling rather than coaching and this is the beauty of Therapy as a whole: its fluidity and flexibility in terms of topics and techniques. I highly recommend him.

Life Coaching & Counselling
Martin Handy is a great guy to talk to if you are suffering from any sort of imbalance in life. I had just 6 sessions with Martin and they made sense of all the noise that was in my head. I was in quite a rough place at the start of the process and by the end my outlook on life was very different. Honestly would highly recommend, no judgement soft and easy guy to talk to.

Counselling
Martin is an excellent coach who I’d recommend to anyone for either face-to-face or online. He has a very calm, supportive and thoughtful approach that helps you work through your thoughts and emotions at your own pace and to your own voice. He has been a tremendous help to me over the past year.

“Counselling helped me work through the confusion and paralysis in my relationships and life direction.”

Counselling can help you address anxiety, low mood, depression, relationship issues, grief and bereavement, trauma, abuse, coercive control, early childhood attachment trauma, self-defeating behaviours, addiction issues and dependency, sexuality, gender issues, LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, autism and ADHD, anger, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, confusion and loss of purpose and meaning.

Counselling work is client led and works through past influences that may still have be having a negative effect on your present relationships, projects and work or career. We may explore family systems dynamics from childhood and adolescence, attachment trauma, parenting styles, boundary issues in current relationships, communication, assertiveness, spheres of control, overcoming self-defeating behaviours like procrastination, people-pleasing, avoidance, rumination, projection, deflection, addiction, compulsive behaviours, impulsivity. This can be good ground work for you if you want to go on to a coaching approach.  Self-care is a good part of counselling work and I provide ongoing support through my blog pages with meditation, relaxation and energisation and healing exercises. 

"Life Coaching has been the cherry of the cake in terms of achieving my goals and manifesting more than I could possibly have ever thought of."

Life Coaching can help you focus on your business, career and life goals, reaching your potential to maximise your performance helping you to learn, cultivating positive mindset and developing satisfaction and fulfilment in your work, home, community and values. This is more directive and content-led by the coach than in counselling.  

Life Coaching will help you look at your strengths and goals, making sure you have a good understanding of your past and how it has affected you now. Any self-defeating behaviours or defences can be explored to see where they might be holding you back so you are not sabotaging your vision for your relationships, career, business and social contribution. We can look at past experiences in childhood and work through some inner child processes.

Coaching helps you achieve your goals, dreams, aspirations, create more positive and rich relationships with people, contribute more productively and creatively to society through creation projects like art, music, self-expression, business, change of career, raising family and being more embodied in your values and ethics.

Values and ethics are a strong component of life coaching and can be embedded in your plan. I can offer process in your emotional systems where needs have been met or unmet, explore your energisation routine through exercise, diet and lifestyle, meditation, assertiveness in working and living with people, positive boundaries and projection. We can explore personality type, your family systems, and life transition direction.

Informal single session coaching is available or a deeper more structured programme.

“Martin’s Supervision work has helped the direction of my therapy business. My personal and professional growth has deepened my awareness to meet the needs of different types of clients.”

For therapists working in private practice I offer supervision to help you maximise your learning, professional reflection and development in a safe and supportive space for monthly work.  

Counsellors, coaches and therapists who are seeking professional support love the depth of client analysis, client progress and client development in order to help their clients get the best from their work. Alongside this approach supervisees can explore their own personal and professional development by looking at their past and presenting issues: exploring the transferences and self-defeating behaviours as well as their professional business, ensuring they are growing and developing. All round development is essential for the work of the therapist. I love the process and reflection to help the therapist know themselves, know their clients better.
