Phoenix Healing Space Counselling
Empathy Embraced in Every Step
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Phoenix Healing Space Counselling.
Hi, my name is Martha, and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor/ Psychotherapist (Dip.PsyC, Prof. Dip Couns).
I work with individuals who may be looking for support to work through difficult or intrusive thoughts emotions, feelings of internal conflict and starkness or another psychological challenge.
Everyone is special in their own way, and everyone face tough time in life. I believe that everyone wobbles, and I believe that everyone deserves happiness, and changing our thinking is a theme that appears consistently in self-development. I suspect most people don’t do anything about it because it is not always easy, our doubtless have developed some unhelpful thinking and corresponding patterns of behaviour, no matter how long you have been in pain you can always find happiness.

My Services
I believe that therapy is a two-way experience. I am humbled that my clients allow me to sit alongside them on their individual and unique journeys. My goal is to assist you in a non-directive, yet inquisitive and exploratory manner, giving you the ability to see what is going on for you and how you may move forward and encourage you to become curious about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. As we connect and share the experience, we create change. I offer a safe, comfortable and private setting to explore your thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life.
I am a qualified integrative therapist, enabling me to employ various modalities to explore and understand your situation. This approach focuses on the present, making connections to past experiences that may affect your current life.
I offer intervention for families which include NVR (Non-Violent Resistance) for the parents (groups) and 1:1 Emotional Understanding for the Child/Young Person.
