Howie Martinez: Psychotherapy & Counselling

About

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

In many ways, by arriving here, you've already accomplished a significant feat. Acknowledging the need for support can be daunting, but it marks the initial stride towards realising the best version of yourself.

Life often presents challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about our emotions. It's important to understand that this is perfectly normal.

Perhaps you find yourself at a crossroads, feeling trapped and unsure of how to progress. That's okay.

You might envision a life where fulfillment and joy are more abundant. That's absolutely valid.

Recognising repetitive, unhelpful patterns is a crucial step toward growth. It's okay to acknowledge them.

Remember, it's okay not to be okay.

My Approach:

My approach stems from the philosophy of 'I'm Ok, You're Ok' – a belief that fosters a healthy perspective on life. It's about feeling positive about oneself and extending that positivity to others.

I firmly believe in your ability to enact change in your life through thoughtful introspection. You have the power to shape your own narrative and steer your destiny.

At the heart of my practice lies the understanding that every individual is deserving of respect and validation. You deserve to be acknowledged and listened to.

Recognising that opening up can be challenging, I offer a space that is non-judgmental, accepting, and respectful – a sanctuary for your thoughts and emotions.

I understand that seeking support can be daunting, and the uncertainty surrounding therapy and change can be overwhelming. That's okay. I passionately advocate for embracing our genuine selves as a pathway to a fulfilling life. I am supported by my own therapy and professional supervision.

In our sessions, where sensitive and personal topics are often explored, your safety is paramount. Rest assured, any information you share remains confidential. I adhere to the ethical standards set by the UK Council for Psychotherapy and comply with GDPR regulations.

As an integrative practitioner, I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness, to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals.
