Martha Akehurst

I currently have availability online during the evenings and on a Friday during the day.

I am a psychotherapist working with adults (18+) online.

I am passionate about helping clients navigate life's challenges by fostering a warm, empathetic and non-judgmental space for growth and healing.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my approach to meet each clients unique needs. This can be adapted as we evolve through the therapeutic process together.

Through therapy I will help you gain deeper self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve relationships, promote personal growth and address any underlying issues contributing to the current difficulties in your life. Many of our emotional and psychological problems are rooted in past experiences or unresolved conflicts. Therapy can help to uncover and address these.

Each session is 50minutes in duration and will be held on the same day and time each week. 

I am currently working with clients online. I offer weekly sessions and these can be on a long-term or short-term basis. 

In my practice, I work collaboratively to explore patterns, behaviours, and emotional experiences that may be negatively impacting your mental health. The therapeutic relationship is incredibly important, therefore together we will create a space where you feel heard, understood and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I have a particular interest and specialism in eating disorders, although I am able to help with a range of other issues such as:

- Anxiety, depression and stress

- Issues with self-esteem

- Anger management 

- Relationship issues

-Trauma

- Major life events

- Bereavement 

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to understand your reasons for seeking therapy at this time.  It is a good opportunity for us to begin getting to know each other and jointly deciding whether we are able to work well together. If we decide that we would like to work together, I will email over a contract with more details. Please feel free to ask me any questions during this initial consultation. 

All sessions will be held online and and the aim of the first session will be for me to get to know you, deeper understand your reasons for seeking therapy, and what you hope to gain from therapy.
