Lee Martin

Hi, I'm Lee. I'm a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR Accredited Practitioner, offering counselling and EMDR therapy from my practice There Is A Light Therapy in Porthleven, Cornwally, and online across the UK.


t: 07873 665713


I can help you with:

  • Anxiety

  • Men's mental health


I have a particular interest in supporting men and fathers following baby loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss, while also working with parents and partners experiencing grief, traumatic loss and trauma.


Baby loss can be an incredibly isolating experience for fathers. Men can find themselves trying to support their partner and keep everyday life going while their own grief becomes less visible. Grief may show itself through sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, numbness, withdrawal or simply feeling unlike yourself.


This is an area I understand both professionally and personally following the death of my son Ray. My own experience doesn't mean I know exactly how somebody else feels, because every person's grief is different, but it has shaped my commitment to ensuring fathers have somewhere their grief can be recognised and heard.


I'm also the author of Still His Dad: A Father's Story of Baby Loss, which explores my own experience of fatherhood, loss and grief.


My approach is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative. I integrate counselling, CBT and EMDR depending on the individual and what they need. Where loss has also involved traumatic experiences or memories that continue to feel very present, EMDR may form part of our work together where appropriate.


Alongside baby loss and grief, I work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress and other difficult life experiences.


I offer face-to-face sessions in Porthleven, Cornwall, and online therapy across the UK.
