Introduction

Focusing has deepened my sense of presence and embodied relating, keeping me humbled by the unexpected next steps that life unfolds. Living a Focusing life is a gift, one of continuous discovery, deep listening, and ever-unfolding connection.

What services do I offer?

Over the years, I’ve developed a way of teaching Focusing that is always evolving, alive in the moment, shaped by those in the space, and deeply experiential.

- I founded a Focusing learning centre in Ireland, where I offer year-long skills certification, professional training, and teacher training.

- New Focusing Programme: Sensed Ecology is an embodied approach to learning and relating that weaves Focusing, the philosophy of the implicit, and the wisdom of living ecosystems. It invites us into a direct, felt sense of how we are not separate from nature but part of its ongoing, dynamic unfolding.

As a Focusing practice, Sensed Ecology deepens our ability to listen—not just to ourselves and others, but to the more-than-human world. It teaches us to sense how life moves within and around us, revealing connections we may not have noticed before.

As a new pedagogy, Sensed Ecology is not just about knowledge but about experiencing relationship in a living way. It shifts how we learn—not by imposing concepts, but by allowing understanding to emerge through deep listening, sensing, and interaction with the world. It offers a way of being in continuous dialogue with life, where learning is not fixed but unfolds moment by moment, like nature itself.

- I offer one-to-one Focusing sessions, where we listen together for what wants to emerge, unfolding at its own pace.

- I am a Mediator and also keep company to processes of change in relationships.

My background in Focusing

I was introduced to Focusing about 16 years ago on an NVC training with Simon McKibbin in a number of foundation training for about 5 years. Focusing and training for a number of years with Simon in group retreats sharing Focusing and NVC, dancing between the two as supportive and interdependent models.

Practitione and Teacher training with Kay Hoffman.
I became a Focusing Coordinator in 2022 with the support and graceful accompaniment of Kay Hoffman, Beatrice Blake, Tom Larkin and Isabel Gascón.

Testimonials

A key thing is Marta embodies what she is teaching. This generates a safe container for this work, even at a distance. She has us all check in and models empathic listening and I believe we have all felt very heard and held by Marta’s presence. I like the way Marta lives this work in an accessible human being way...not a rigid formula or something we master and are done with. I am grateful to have the privilege of learning from Marta.
