About

Martyn Pars offers a space where people can be heard, understood, believed in and supported. He delivers most therapy via video or audio sessions, supplemented occasionally by messaging support, and asks that anyone who prefers written communication as their primary means of support seek an alternative therapist.

He has four years of clinical experience and has worked within a large corporate employee assistance programme providing counselling. During that time he supported people with a wide range of mental health concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues, as well as cases involving self-harm, suicidal ideation, gender issues, autism, ADD/ADHD and dyslexia.

He has a particular interest in and experience with clients who receive a later-in-life diagnosis or suspect they may have ADD/ADHD, dyslexia or other aspects of neurodiversity. His private practice is based in Cheltenham and Gloucester in the United Kingdom, and he offers telephone and video therapy to adults aged 18 and over across the UK.

In addition to counselling, Martyn is a qualified and accredited Executive Coach and can work with clients on performance and development; packages are available on request. He aims for sessions to feel warm, compassionate and non-judgemental, built around an empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports clients to live effectively with what they bring.

Work with Martyn can, if a client wishes, include mindfulness, spirituality and meditation practices drawn from his experience in these areas. Many of his clients engage in longer-term work of one to two years, though some prefer shorter interventions of six to twelve sessions, and he trusts each person to decide what suits them best.

Martyn is a qualified and accredited counsellor (MNCS accred) and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP reg), which places him on the Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register. He has completed additional training for online work and holds recognition on the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO) registry at level 1.

He receives monthly clinical supervision from a very experienced psychotherapist who is an ordained priest, Zen Master and Reiki Master, and says this transpersonal dimension influences his presence and his ability to connect with clients. Recent continuing professional development has focused on working with neurodiversity - including autism, ADD/ADHD and dyslexia - and on maintaining his ACTO level 1 accreditation. He works only with individual UK-based adult clients aged 18 and over.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work for many individuals.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations.

Each participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they feel another approach would be a better fit. Online therapy offers practical access to trained therapists while retaining the core therapeutic relationship that helps people address everyday and longer-term challenges.
