Martyn Forbes

Hello, I am so glad you are here, reading this.

I am Martyn (he/him), an affirmative, integrative therapist working in Glasgow. I aim to provide a safe space for clients, without fear of judgement.

I want to ensure that clients feel welcomed and heard regardless of their gender, sexuality, sexual practices or relationship style. Therapy should never be a place where you need to watch what you say or educate your therapist about who you are. Therapy is time for you.

Whether or not gender and sexuality are why you are seeking therapy, they are essential parts of who you are and as an affirmative therapist, I can appreciate how these parts of you can influence and shape your life.

If you think you would like to begin therapy and feel that I might be a good fit, please get in touch.

As an integrative therapist, I will work with you to explore whatever challenges you are facing.  I will draw on different therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred and Compassion-Focused therapies.

Working collaboratively with you, we will use different therapy techniques to bring about positive change in your life. Therapy is a safe space for you to talk freely without any fear of judgement. My way of working is flexible and adaptable to your needs. 

Therapy is time for you.

Before your first session, I offer a free 15-minute phone assessment, to allow you to ask any questions and to see if I am a suitable therapist for you.

The first session will assess what difficulties you are experiencing and explore how therapy can help. This is a stage of hearing from you and information-gathering, where we can talk through what you are hoping to get out of therapy, which will shape future sessions.
