Martha Wade

I am an empathic and passionate psychotherapist. Whether you are struggling in your personal, romantic/marriage or professional relationships or whether you are feeling sad, stuck or finding it increasingly hard to make important life choices or perhaps experiencing symptoms of anxiety, low self-esteem or depression, I provide a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space in which you can explore your difficult and painful issues. 

I hold a Masters degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling,  BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Counselling and a Diploma in Christian Theology.

My Integrative approach means that my work with you can benefit from the skills and techniques of solution focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; the deep, relational dimension of Person Centred Therapy; and the insight offered by past experiences which is implicit in Psychodynamic work. Above all, I prize the development of a strong, very human bond to encourage deep trust, inspire confidence in the therapeutic process and build on sometimes unacknowledged and suppressed strengths.

Sometimes taking the first step to therapy can feel daunting - figuring out which therapist to work with can be confusing; the idea of sharing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger can be anxiety provoking which is understandable. To help you make a decision, I offer up to 20 minutes of free and no obligation session to support this process of finding the right therapist. At this meeting you have a chance to ask any questions about starting therapy.  We can decide together how many sessions are needed and to answer your questions about the counselling process.
