Martine Van den Berg

I work flexible hours from Monday to Friday, including evenings.

Could counselling be the support you need at the moment to improve some of the issues you are experiencing? 

If you are feeling alone, overwhelmed or confused about the pandemic, parenthood, work, a bereavement or other life experiences or relationships, I can offer Face to Face, zoom or phone counselling to explore this.

I am a Mid Sussex based Integrative counsellor and work from comfortable, welcoming rooms. I am, furthermore, qualified and experienced to meet you online and by phone.  

Prior to training as a counsellor I worked in corporate environments specialising in sales and process solutions. I then chose to be a stay at home mother. Together with my counselling training and other life experiences, my previous careers informs my open minded approach. It has taught me that life can be very hard and how important relationships with ourselves and the people around us are. 

As an Integrative Counsellor I can draw on a wide range of tools to accommodate your needs and preferences. We can discuss our chosen approach during a free assessment. 

You might be struggling to make sense of your relationships at work or private life, feel worried, lost, unsettled or have suffered loss. I can offer you a confidential, calm, friendly and understanding space to talk about this.  

Counselling can be a daunting and confusing prospect sometimes, especially if you are new to it. My aim is to offer you a trustworthy counselling relationship and provide you with an environment and approach which suits your needs. I will explain and review the process as we go along. This includes conversations about the amount of counselling sessions you want to have and the expectations you might hold about what counselling could mean for you.

I am a registered member with the BACP which means I adhere to their Ethical Professional Standard. Find more information about this here: https://www.bacp.co.uk/events-and-resources/ethics-and-standards/

Starting counselling can be a hard process in itself and you might have considered it for a while. 

Choosing a counsellor has to feel right so I offer a free initial meeting of 20 minutes so we can get to know each other a little bit. 

You can contact me and leave a message by email or phone or use the functionality of this website and I will get back to you.
