Martin Smith

A senior accredited therapist with over twenty five years clinical experience I work from a solution focused approach utilising a third wave CBT model of ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients move forward and develop new skills to help them cope with life and many issues they may be facing in their life. My approach is flexible and functional with a clear aim to validate current and past issues whilst having a focus on how to move you forward to help develop and thrive.

I run a private practice from an office situated in Long Eaton. The office is private used solely for my practice with a waiting area and private comfortable therapy room. The venue allows for us to work undisturbed in a professional setting. There is good on street parking around the office and the location is on a good bus route and main roads to all major areas of the East Midlands.

The first session is aimed at getting background information about you and the issues you wish to work on but also to look at ways that the therapy can help. Even in the first session the aim is to give you ideas and techniques to take away and work with to help move you forward. 

We run a range of CPD events on a range of subjects to help established therapists as well as trainees gain experience and knowledge of skills which can enhance their work regardless of their current therapeutic approach. Our trainers are all very experienced in the subject they deliver on with both clinical and training experience. Some of the current workshops include understanding personality disorders, motivational interviewing, compassion fatigue and time perspectives work

All our CPD events are run from my private office situated only 5 minutes off junction 25 of the M1. The events all include lunch and tea / coffee throughout the event. All CPD events include course notes and attendance / CPD certificates. Check out the forthcoming CPD events we are running by visiting our website.
