Marta Ophide (MBACP)

The core of my work as a professional is to empower your self-growth by helping you identify and tackle the key challenges and difficulties in your life. Together, we will uncover the truths that lie within you and address the obstacles that may be holding you back. My role is to enhance your awareness so you can see beyond what may feel fixed and embrace your potential.

As a relational counsellor grounded in Person-Centred theory, I wholeheartedly value the individuality and uniqueness of each person’s experience. I prioritize the quality of the therapeutic relationship, ensuring that autonomy, choice, and safety are always central to my practice.

With my heritage and extensive personal learning, I understand how intersectionality and experiences of discrimination—be it related to race, heritage, culture, disability, gender, or economic background—can shape one’s self-perception and worldview. I am committed to fostering an anti-discriminatory culture within my practice, ensuring that you are seen as a whole person, free from societal labels or expectations.

As a registered counsellor with The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I uphold the highest standards of ethical practice. I engage in regular monthly supervision with a qualified expert, a crucial process that supports my ongoing personal and professional development while providing a safe and supportive environment for both you and me as your counsellor. Together, we will embark on a journey of discovery and growth.
