Martyn Harby

I offer a friendly and confidential one-to-one counselling service supporting adults and young people with bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues; including physical and emotional abuse.

The aim of my service is to listen and understand you, help you to address your problems and enable you to lead a more fulfilled life.

Sessions currently take place at my home in Waterloo. I also offer on-line counselling through Zoom or Google Meet

Please contact me either via mobile or email to enquire further about my service or to book an initial assessment.

I also offer a free 20min. phone or on-line consultation prior to any counselling work, if required.

Please note I am currently available for appointments on Friday only.

I have worked in private practice as a counsellor for over 5 years working with adults, children and young people.

My practice is integrative which means that i combine several modalities or theories of counselling including person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural therapy. For younger clients, but not exclusively, I use play therapy and working with metaphor to explore meaning behind a child's difficulties.

I currently work in two local schools managing and delivering a counselling service to children and young people. 

The first session will run slightly longer than follow-on sessions as I carry out an assessment of the client's needs and aims from coming to counselling and how we will work together over the following sessions. This generally lasts approximately 60-75mins.
