Counselling in a Safe Environment
My name is Martin and at Willow Bark Therapy, I offer a safe space for you to discuss whatever is troubling you in a confidential environment. I am a fully qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor and I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I follow the BACP's ethical framework . I currently work within the NHS during the week, but I am available to see private clients after 6pm Mon-Fri and also at the weekend. My private practice is based in central Farnham at The Eaves, or alternatively I can offer remote sessions via video link.
Willow Bark Therapy is dedicated to providing caring therapeutic counselling services and focuses on fostering a safe and supportive environment. I believe in empowering clients to achieve their mental health goals.
Your Path to Wellness
My goal is to focus on your unique journey and the outcomes that you hope to achieve by engaging in the process of counselling.
Together we will explore your patterns of thinking and relating to others and my aim is to help you to achieve greater self-awareness by evaluating your past life experiences and understanding how these have shaped you as a human being and the way that you behave.

Individual Face to Face Counselling
Highly focussed 'in-person' sessions lasting 5o minutes make for an extremely effective therapeutic experience . Sessions would take place at The Eaves in central Farnham and typically would recur on a weekly basis.

Virtual Therapy
This form of therapy is a popular alternative to 'in-person' sessions. It allows for greater flexibility and convenience and has become widely accepted as an extremely effective way of delivering counselling sessions over longer distances, or where there might be difficulties in attending face to face, Sessions again last for 50 minutes and would be conducted virtually using an online meeting facility such as Teams or Zoom.

Walking and Mindfulness
As an alternative to sessions taking place in a consulting room or online I am also available 'walk and talk' at pre-agreed locations in the Farnham area. This can make a refreshing change and being in nature provides a calming environment that can be conducive to improved mental health and reduced anxiety. These sessions can also focus on mindfulness techniques that can then be used in daily life as effective coping mechanisms in times of difficult thoughts.
