Martin is a Clinical Member and Registered Counsellor with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC). He founded Harmony Counselling in 2020, recognising that what he has gained through hard-won experience could be of value to others.

Based in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region since 1990, he has had multiple experiences of living in remote locations and in challenging conditions which few professional people can match. Prior to becoming a counsellor, he worked for over 25 years as a project manager in the construction industry. As a result of his background in male-dominated arenas such as construction and rugby, he is a strong advocate of men’s mental health issues and feels that overcoming his own challenges has enabled him to help men confront their own issues in life and relationships.

Martin connects with people of all ages and backgrounds in a genuine and empathetic manner and believes his own successes and failures have helped him develop his core personal value of respect for others. He is passionate about working with individuals, couples & families to help them make the best use of their strengths and resources in order to improve their lives. It is his belief that, in knowing and understanding ourselves, we become stronger and happier people, and better equipped to deal with life’s challenges.

His personal and career experience has given him a high level of professionalism, cultural sensitivity & understanding, and an outlook on life which is balanced and informed.
