I am Martin Armstrong-Prior, B.Sc., HD., Acc, Hyp. Sup., F.N.C.H., F.H.S., F.H.R.S. MNGH, MRAGPH, MAAETS, Senior Clinician and I have practiced as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist since 1992, when I established Humberstone Counselling.

I started counselling at Leicester University in 1974, while reading for my degree in Psychology and Sociology, when I trained as a Rogerian Counsellor with Nightline, the student counselling service.

After graduating I used my counselling skills on an unofficial basis for a number of years. I became interested in other forms of therapy and took a diploma course in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. On completing that course I gained membership of the National Council of Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapy Register.

I continued to develop my skills, learning new techniques through workshops and training courses.

My interest in stress based conditions and especially in trauma work arises from my career in the Police Service. Having seen many examples of people being seriously effected by stress and traumatic experiences I have been drawn into gathering as many skills and as much knowledge in these areas that I have found available.

I now use hypnotherapy techniques and allied methods to help clients who present with various conditions. Every individual will require an individual treatment with variations and emphasis on different points. To this end I have developed the strongly client centred approach to service provision that I believe sets this practice apart from many.
