Caren Martin

I have some availability for early evening Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I also am available for weekends. The first step is for you to get in touch then I am sure we can work around your availability. Available day and times can and do change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or struggling to cope with something that has been affecting your wellbeing? Perhaps you feel that you understand what is happening, but finding it difficult to make lasting changes.

I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is troubling you at your own pace. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

I work with a range of issues including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life changes, confidence and emotional wellbeing. I also offer hypnotherapy where appropriate, which can be incorporated into therapy or offered as a complementary approach depending on your needs and goals.

My aim is to help you develop greater understanding of yourself, work through difficulties and build the confidence and resources to move forward.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Together, we can explore what is happening for you and consider what might help.

Whether you are facing a particular difficulty or simply feel that something needs to change, I offer a safe and supportive space to begin that process.

Get in touch to arrange an initial conversation and see whether working together feels right for you.

I have a small practice and work from south Liverpool. The space is warm and friendly and tailored for your comfort where you can expect a warm welcome and confidentiality. 

I usually begin with a telephone call at your convenience. You will be asked practical questions and we will talk about why you have decided to come to counselling. This is free of charge and can last from 15 minutes to an hour. This allows me to see how to move forward with what you are telling me.  Confidentiality begins when you make the initial contact. I will make the call from a private space at a time suited and agreed by you. 

If I don't answer your call, send me a text and I will get back to you. My availability is varied so we can work to suit your availability.

I work in the Aigburth area of Liverpool. Initially, I offer a free first consultation on the phone. Then we will arrange a day and time for your first face to face appointment or online session. How many sessions you need can depend.  Some people will need one or two, and some people will need ten or more. I will tell you how I propose to work with the information you give me during the telephone consultation.

I work as an Integrative Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist. This means that I alter the way I work to fit your needs. People come for counselling for many reasons. Your sessions can be about specific conditions to everyday stressors and life events. I will help you process difficulties, move through transitions and find ways of coping that work for you. 

We will work through it all together. I have experience working with all ages and different issues such as, end of life, trauma counselling, relationship issues, abuse, and navigating the twists and turns of life. 

Your first session will be a free telephone consultation. This can last from between 15 minutes to an hour. Your second session will be your first face to face session. The time and day will depend on your and mine availability. It will be in a confidential comfortable room that allows you the time and space to speak.
