About Martyn
Martyn Oakland is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks. He also works with those dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. He keeps introductions simple and direct so worried people can decide quickly if he feels like a good fit.
He aims to make sessions a place to talk without judgment. Martyn focuses on helping people name their feelings and learn practical ways to manage intense emotions. He supports people who struggle with shame, guilt, isolation and problems around attachment and abandonment.
Martyn has 11 years of professional experience and has spent recent years working with people who find it hard to regulate their emotions. That includes work with people whose difficulties resemble Borderline Personality Disorder. He uses straightforward language and clear steps rather than clinical jargon.
In sessions he helps people build skills for coping day to day, and to reduce the hold of panic and overwhelming moods. He encourages small, steady goals and practises that can fit into everyday life. People can expect an open, steady style that focuses on what they want to change.

Martyn will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He emphasises trying small steps, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together as progress is made.
