I have had other therapists before and not gotten on very well with them. Martyn has been a great match for me since the first session , I like the way he listens and interacts with me . Martyn is very calming and knowledgable also easy to talk to . I am very lucky to have him as my therapist and feel I can learn and benefit a lot.
