Who I talk with

Individual Consultations

Working with Groups

In order for a group or a team to achieve high levels of performance, there is a recognised need to have happy individuals working within a unique identity, operating with positive group cohesion. Martin, through collaboration with all stakeholders, can help obtain positive well-being and group functioning through talking, listening, discussion and finding the solutions to help them improve their performance and/or establish a positive personal well-being. He believes in using simple problem-solving techniques to empower groups and team members to reach their goals, perform well and to feel happier.

Schools and Education

The current school climate is witnessing an increasing number of students, parents/guardians and teachers being impacted by psychological pressures from everyday life. ‘A MODern Talk’ aims to help these groups or individuals to perform better academically, physically or socially and establish a positive personal well-being en route to achieving this.

Business and Corporate

The work environment can be a pressurised zone and it is important that individuals feel appreciated and encouraged, whilst performing their best in fulfilling their work commitments. ‘A MODern Talk’ aims to help leaders, managers and groups to build relationships, a sense of corporate identity and a feeling of appreciation and happiness in the workplace.

Sports teams and players

Sport and exercise play an important part in living a healthy lifestyle. However, modern day sporting participation can feel pressurised and can be extremely competitive. ‘A MODern Talk’ aims to help athletes/teams to perform under pressure and achieve a higher level of performance in a fun interactive way, enhancing their personal well-being in the process.
