Martin Spooner

I am currently taking new clients on for both face to face and online counselling. Please get in touch to arrange a no obligation initial chat.

This will involve us beginning to get to know one another and to explore your motivations and expectations for seeking help at this stage in your life.

If you feel comfortable after talking to me during this initial call we can then schedule our first session.

I'm Martin and I support children and adults by creating a genuine, warm, and safe space to talk. I believe the relationship with your therapist is vital; my commitment is to listen deeply and give you the confidential room you need to feel comfortable.

Your sessions are a private space to explore whatever issues and concerns you choose to bring to the session and we will regularly review your progress to ensure that your objectives are being met.

My role is to support you and allow you the space to process your current emotions, thoughts, past experiences, fears, anxieties etc. all of which may be combining to affect you in your daily life. 

Taking the first step toward counselling shows a powerful desire to understand yourself better. It is completely okay if you don’t have all the answers right now - knowing yourself isn't a final destination, but a continuous journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor based in a convenient town-centre location in Central Farnham (GU9), and I also offer flexible online sessions.

How I Work

I provide a safe, private, and entirely non-judgmental space where you can freely explore whatever is troubling you. Because my core training is integrative, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I combine two powerful ways of working to support you:

• Person-Centred Therapy: You are the expert on your own life. I provide deep empathy and unconditional support, giving you the space to process current emotions, fears, and anxieties at your own pace.
  
  
• Psychodynamic Therapy: We will gently look at your past experiences and childhood patterns. Often, these hidden influences subconsciously affect our daily lives, coping mechanisms, and relationships today.

Who I Support

I work with children, young people, and adults of all ages. In addition to my private practice, I spend a day each week counselling within a school environment, giving me deep insight into the unique pressures faced by younger generations today.

Our Next Steps

Your sessions are your private space. We will regularly review your progress together to ensure your goals and personal objectives are being met.

Ready to talk? Please reach out today to ask any questions or to book your initial session. Let’s explore the path forward together.

I offer a free 20 min appointment either online or over the telephone where we have the opportunity to get to know one another and you can ask any questions about the way I work. This will also be an opportunity for you to give me an idea about what you are seeking from therapy and we can see if I am the best person to help you with this.
