"I Know This Pain—And I Know a Way Through"
I’m Martyn Eggington, a certified estrangement relationship and recovery coach—and I’ve lived the pain of estrangement from the inside out.
For years, I was stuck in cycles of shame, silence, and self-blame. But I found tools to face the grief, rebuild my identity, and live fully again. Now, I help others do the same. My family conflict resolution coaching provides you with strategies to reconnect with adult children or cope with the powerlessness of the loss. If you're seeking online coaching for family issues around a disconnection around divorce, mental health, addiction or differences of values or principals you're in the right place.

2 / Adults healing from childhood trauma
3 / Individuals in recovery from addiction and toxic relationships
4 / People rebuilding their identity after enmeshment, guilt, or abandonment

What They Say
Two phonecalls were all I needed to see things from a different point of view and to feel empowered to make some drastical changes in my life . Thanks Martyn, for being the best listener and for your great insights!
When I started having sessions with Martyn, I was not entirely sure of what I needed or why, but I knew I needed help. After years of supressing my emotions with medications, I wanted to take back control.
I could not always find the words to express myself, but Martyn intuitively knew how to guide me. Martyn has a natural ability to gently bring you to look at life from a different perspective, without you even knowing he is doing it.
I always felt safe, supported, encouraged, and never judged during our sessions.
Martyn offered me practical solutions and techniques to overcome many of the problems I was facing, but more than this, Martyn’s holistic approach nurtures the soul and acknowledges every need, be it practical, spiritual or anything in-between. This to me is what sets Martyn apart from the rest.
Wow! Martyn has just unstuck me with an issue that has been completely frozen for sixteen years. I am astonished at how he manages to be kind, sympathetic and insightful at the same time as delivering clear, concise and honest advice.
I want to say 'brutally' honest, but there was nothing brutal about it. He also helped me to formulate a clear plan of action, and made excellent suggestions for a support structure to take me through the very difficult steps ahead of me. I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is ready to be helped.

Martyn was incredibly helpful and equipped me to face issues with my family background. His personable stye and gentle steering gave me the tools to move forward and grow into a greater sense of self awareness.

I have known and benefited from Martyn’s commitment to his own and others personal growth for a while.
He has the ability to not only see the ‘glue’ others can be covered with but the insight to non judgementally help ‘the stuck’ understand what is holding them back and want to change.
Whether it is a strain of anxiety or fear, a long held trait that used to work or a miss held belief that has no basis, Martyn’s ability to translate the unseen into the tangible is the first part of his abilities with others.
Naturally one has to be able to change those survival techniques and this is where Martyn supports soul searchers on their quest for growth.
His insight to workable solutions and gentle pushing will help most if they want to change.
Martyn has helped our family grow and given back self respect and integrity where it was lost, even when the individual was not aware it was down to previous generations.
