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.

Martin is an excellent coach who I’d recommend to anyone for either face-to-face or online coaching. 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.

I decided to try counselling even though I felt apprehensive and unsure about it. From the start, the very first phone call, Martin put me at ease. He was very empathetic on the phone and was able to give me quite a few pointers to help me there and then. With his guidance on the subsequent sessions I was able to make rapid progress unravelling the tangle I’d caused myself and start to build a happier life. Martin brings out the best in people – I never thought it possible to get to the bottom of personal problems, but very soon found myself thinking clearly and able to describe my emotions, motives and thoughts – the cloud of frustration lifted. Martin’s style is one of engagement. He gives a lot in the sessions to stimulate the thought process and give you the tools you need to be a self-counsellor between sessions and life in general. I looked forward to my meetings with Martin since I could talk openly without feeling awkward – such an environment meant each session yielded tangible gains and gave me the steer I needed to self-counsel during everyday life.

When I contacted Martin I was going through a tumultuous time both at home and at work. Not only both settings demanded my time and effort, but mental stability and mental peace. It is easier said than done. Theory may seem very straightforward, but once put into practice the reality can be a complete different one. I was aware of my surroundings and the issues I was facing, those that made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, and although I knew the source of my emotions, I did not know how to apply coping techniques, breathing exercises and how to converge spirituality, counselling and high frequency energy in order to be in harmony internally and with external factors - Thank you Martin for guiding me up until this point successfully.
Another turning point in our journey was when we shifted from counselling to life coaching. Whilst this happened rather organically after a few months of therapy, 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.
All of the above was achieved and is still being worked on over zoom calls, which makes a lot of sense due to fast-paced environments we happen to live in. Hadn’t Martin had the possibility to provide online sessions, I wouldn’t be drafting this review. I am cosmically grateful to Martin for guiding and supporting me with the right questions, techniques, dialogue and effective communication.
I highly recommend him!
