Nurturing hope, exploring strength, building solutions

– Why Solution Focused? –

Solution Focused Therapy understands that what you bring to the table – your strengths, resources, skills and creativity, are the best tools you have to get yourself where you want to go. My role is to support you in uncovering these tools, so that you can move forward in a way that best suits you.

– 1:2:1 coaching & therapy –

Is there something you are struggling with that you would like some support in getting on top of? Do you like the idea of an approach that explores your strengths, values your precious time, and facilitates sustainable positive change led by you?

Finding the therapy and therapist that works for you is really important. Feel free to email hello@issymartin.co.uk with any questions you have or to book a no cost, no obligation phone call, to help you decide if this is the right approach for you.

– Support at work – 

Do you work in a people management, HR or mental health support role within your organisation but find yourself feeling overwhelmed and burnt out? Using solution focused techniques can help you to offer valuable support while protecting your own mental health. If you think you or your organisation might benefit from training in how to use solution focused techniques please get in touch at hello@issymartin.co.uk.

– A little about me –

I am a BPS qualified psychologist and registered, accredited Solution Focused Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist, based in central Bristol, UK, working with clients across the UK and internationally.

I work in private practice and with mental health charities in Bristol and across the UK, supporting clients, training volunteers in the Solution Focused approach and writing a blog on how to apply solution focused techniques. I also work in the NHS, using an integrated approach including CBT and solution focused therapy to support children and families.

The clients I work with hail from all walks of life, from professionals to children, people with autism, to those struggling with substance abuse issues, and a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety & panic attacks, depression, low confidence & self esteem, unwanted habits, and anger.

In our sessions together, in addition to solution focused talking therapy, we can also draw on hypnosis, neuroscience and meditative techniques to support positive change.

Issy Martin Psychotherapist & Clinical Hypnotherapist
MBPsS MSc Psych DHP HPD DSFH CNHC MNCH (Reg.)

I would highly recommend Issy Martin. She has helped me enormously to get a handle on some long-term anxieties I had.

She created a safe, relaxed but stimulating space in which I could work through the changes I wanted to make, and in which I could literally ‘work out’ my mind in every way

The relaxation is like a reset button, whilst deeply relaxing, it left me feeling energised and like no issue is insurmountable.
