Martin Lewis (Vajranistha)

Welcome. I’m a person-centred therapist who can help you explore difficult issues in a safe and friendly environment. In this approach to therapy, the client is considered the expert on their life and I will work alongside you not just to resolve difficulties but to facilitate your potential too. The key to healing is the therapeutic relationship and I will offer warmth, empathy and a non-judgemental attitude in this process. Having received therapy myself in the past, I recognise the power in feeling heard and understood.

I am also an ordained Buddhist- Vajranistha- and have been practising for 20 years. As life can be stressful, I can also introduce simple mindfulness techniques to help with stress and calming the nervous system. On a personal level, I enjoy poetry, creative writing, walking and birdwatching.

Professional experience

As a qualified counsellor, I have had successful experience of helping individuals in various settings. Examples of issues worked with are: anxiety, depression, bereavement and trauma. However, you may just be feeling a vague sense of loss or lack of confidence which we could explore. In my previous work, I have been a qualified social worker and a secondary school teacher. I’m a passionate believer in working closely with individuals and communities to help improve well-being.

Regarding ethical practise, I regularly receive supervision and I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
