Martia Bevan

My professional training, therapeutic work and personal narrative have given me core beliefs that people thrive when they are:

• Heard and acknowledged for what they bring.

• Believed implicitly in what they say.

• Accepted unconditionally in their unique journey.

I have worked and volunteered in HE, disability and health, sight-loss, the carer role, domestic abuse, Bereavement and end of life care over a number of years.

I work with a person-centred approach, offering empathy, acceptance and transparency for you to feel comfortable and secure.

I offer a confidential, inclusive safe space to explore your feelings and share experiences without feeling judged.

I believe in the importance of building a strong relationship where trust, openness and mutual respect are valued.

I am currently available for telephone counselling Monday-Friday times to suit and will be reverting back to face-to-face counselling sessions later in the year in line with government guidance.

The first session gives an opportunity to talk about what counselling can offer you at this time. It will aim to clarify expectations for you to decide.

What you want from counselling sessions and any goals you have. It will also be a chance to discuss arrangements for fees, length of therapy and answer any questions.
