When clients complete their work with me they sometimes want to write and say how they feel about our work together. I also find their feedback helpful in helping me to maintain high standards of professional practice. So nowadays I provide a simple online Feedback Form which clients can use.
All my work with clients is of course strictly confidential so I could never publish who said what, or offer any clues to their identity. However, I keep a paper copy of the feedback e-mails I receive so that I could easily prove the genuineness of what I say if invited to do so by any counselling and psychotherapy professional body.
If you would like to see the feedback format please click here.

You are easy to open up to. I was very shy and awkward when I first came to see you but after the first couple of sessions I felt a lot more at ease. By the end I was very relaxed and felt my self esteem and other problems I had were sorted out. I was a bit sceptical as regards the EMDR (or whatever it was called) but was amazed at the results. Thank you for getting my life back on track.

Brian has changed my life. When I first came to see Brian I was in a terrible
state and could not see a way out of it. He has helped me to change the way I think
about things and deal with my problems. I would not have managed this on my own

If I had a friend who needed therapy, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to
them. Thank you for the help you have given me over the years. Without your help
I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wish my Dad was like you.
Thanks for your help, patience and commitment.

I can't thank you enough for helping us to deal with the problems we faced in our relationship last year. It was such a different picture just a year ago and the sessions we had with you helped us to reach a mutual decision to move forward with a big dilemma in our lives. We couldn't be happier! :) Thank you!

‘I was extremely nervous about seeing someone about an intensely personal issue but, to my surprise I found it easy to talk to Brian. His approach is simple but effective and after just one session I felt unburdened. In just two weeks, he helped me to understand things about myself that I have always struggle to come to terms with and to install a self belief and confidence I have never had before. I know that Brian is there should my self- esteem drop in the future and would recommend his services to anyone suffering their own personal issues, whatever they may be.
017
'It was very helpful to talk through my issues and put them into context. I was
grateful for the techniques taught during the sessions; they helped me to defer my
unhelpful and obsessive worrying'.
016
I wasn’t at all sure how counselling would help me. I was amazed how issues just seemed to come about in conversation, things as far back as my childhood and behaviour now and then and its affects. Brian really helped me to understand more and come to terms with events. …….I would return without hesitation to Brian if I needed further counselling…….
015
‘…..this was the first time I had ever visited a therapist, I cannot thank him enough for helping through a very difficult period, he explained things in a simple way that I was able to remember them and then go away and put his teachings into practice, he…..does not judge you which again helped me to express my true feelings and issues.’
014
‘I wanted to take this opportunity to say that journey I have completed with you has given me a life I once only dreamt about. I was nervous and anxious at first but your professionalism, honesty and understanding gave me the trust to work with you through things I had kept secret all my life and at one time I thought I could never trust to tell anyone. Your patience, encouragement, and making it a safe place gave me the confidence to get through my darkest nightmares. You helped me find the key to unlock the padlock and release the ball and chain I have been carrying for many years. You are so passionate about your work in helping others that I am so pleased I made the step to contact you. I am now living a happy fulfilled life something I could not have done without your help and guidance for which I cannot thank you enough’.
013
‘Brian exceeded my expectations, after only three sessions my anxiety and the weight I was carrying had started to melt away. With the tools and actionable life changing steps we worked on I can now handle my stresses that held me back for many years. I have experienced a profound change allowing me to let the past go and I am now living life to the full’.
012
‘I would like to thank you for helping me to find myself again. The things you taught me are invaluable, there is no way I could have done it on my own. I never believed in therapists before but I have certainly changed my mind now. Hopefully if I can continue to be the new me, maybe my relationship with my wife can get back to what it should have been, if not, at least I know that if I meet someone else, I won’t make the same mistakes’.
011
‘Thank you very much for helping me get through what was, by far, the most difficult experience of my life – and showing me that I could cope with what was happening, and I could continue on.’
010
‘My sessions with you have
really been life changing. I initially would have been reluctant to admit attending
therapy but now would have no concerns at all and would urge people who are in anguish
to get support, realise that you owe it to yourself, and you are worth it’.
009
‘I have found the techniques
used in the sessions have helped me through some of the most difficult times in my
life.’
008
‘I went to see Brian at
a period of my life when I was very stressed and confused. Brian listened to me and
helped me regain my confidence. I feel I have some direction in my life which had
temporarily gone. If I need support in the future I would definitely have counselling
again as often friends and family may not be enough’.
007
‘Going
to see Mr Martin changed my life: He is understanding, caring, and very professional.
I was so lucky to have found Brian’.
006
‘Without
your help I’m not really sure how I would have coped with the challenges life threw
at me in 2008 and 2009. You helped me believe I am a strong person and that I am
responsible for my own destiny. Thank you!’
005
‘During
Some difficult times Brian helped greatly when struggling with personal issues. I
never thought therapy would have such a positive effect on myself’
004
‘I
believe we had another appointment booked for next week. To be honest I’m feeling
really good and believe that there are other people who can benefit from your time.
Many thanks for all your help, you have helped me so much and I am in your debt for
this. I wish you all the best’.
003
‘I
found my therapy with you extremely helpful and positive and felt I had moved forward
in a very short space of time’.
002
‘My
first experience of counselling. I found the process very useful and liked the style
you adopted. Hopefully won’t need to come back, but if I do I’ll come back to you!’
001
‘When I first went to see Brian
I was naturally very nervous. He made me feel comfortable from the first meeting
and has helped me a great deal. He is a very understanding and compassionate man
and I would advise anyone who is in need of some extra help to visit him’.
