About Martyn Pars
Martyn Pars offers a therapeutic space where being heard, understood, believed in and supported is the central aim. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and prioritises an empathetic, non-judgemental relationship that helps clients live more effectively with the difficulties they bring.
His primary therapeutic work is delivered by video or audio, with occasional messaging support. He asks that anyone who prefers written communication as their main form of therapy seek an alternative practitioner, since his main interventions are by phone or video.
Martyn has experience working within a large corporate employee assistance programme, where he supported people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, gender matters, autism, ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. He has a particular interest in working with people who receive later-in-life diagnoses or suspect they may be neurodivergent, including ADHD and dyslexia.
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 who are located in the UK. He is also a qualified and accredited executive coach and can provide coaching packages on request.
Sessions with Martyn are intended to feel warm, compassionate and free from judgement. Where clients wish it, the work can include mindfulness, spiritual perspectives and meditation practice. Many clients engage in longer-term work of one to two years, though some people find six to twelve sessions meets their needs. Martyn works from a place of respect for each person’s own wisdom and supports clients to decide the length and focus of their work.
He is a qualified and accredited counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); he also holds NCPS credentials. He has undertaken specific training to provide online therapy and his online practice has been recognised by the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online at level 1. Martyn meets with an experienced psychotherapist for regular clinical supervision, and that supervisory relationship - informed by transpersonal perspectives - influences his therapeutic presence and capacity to connect deeply with clients.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to find time for therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
Therapists and licensed professionals who provide remote care use these formats to maintain therapeutic continuity and tailor their approach to each person. If the working relationship does not feel like the right fit, clients are able to switch to a different therapist when they wish.
