Today more and more people are at some stage in their lives struggling to cope with the ever-increasing pressures that befall them. These pressures can be from home life, the working environment or just from our own internal feelings that we just cannot cope.

There are many schools of therapy and all try to help people through difficult times. Like everything else the need for fast cures to our problems, so that we can get on with life, is one of many factors influencing our need for therapy treatment.

It is recognised through many studies that therapy does not always have to be long and drawn out and in fact in many cases can be effective in only a few treatment sessions. Martin Smith is a qualified therapist and an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His approach draws from a range of techniques and solution focused therapeutic approaches to help the individual take back control of their lives quickly and effectively.

Martin's approach is truly holistic, scientific, and practical. Although drawn from many areas of therapy one of its key contributors has been the work of Milton Erickson who was a leading American therapist until his death in 1980. Erickson was one of the most significant influences on the development of brief; solution focused therapy in modern times.

With a solution focused therapeurtic approach progress is usually swift and effective and can help with recovery from anxiety disorders, depression, stress, addictive behaviour, panic attacks, phobias, traumatic memories and post traumatic stress disorder. What ever your concern may be, you can work through it with help and guidance.
