Martina is a highly attentive therapist who exemplifies kindness and empathy in her practice. She holds a deep regard for cultivating an environment of safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship, acknowledging that every client is unique and has distinct needs. By tailoring her approach to cater to the individual requirements of each person she works with, Martina ensures that her clients feel seen, heard, and understood.
I draw upon a range of different therapies which include the following but are not limited to:
• Emotion-Focused Therapy
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
• Interpersonal Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Strengths-based approaches.
Determining the type of therapeutic technique used is always a collaborative process between the client and myself. Ultimately, the type of therapy used must make sense to you and be beneficial to your healing and treatment goals.
I have experience working in several settings, including private practice, community, forensic, and education sectors. I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults with varied presentations, including mood and anxiety issues, relationship concerns, trauma issues, stress and burnout, personality difficulties, alcohol and other drug use, and adjustment issues.
