Martin Flynn. Psychotherapist inspired by spirituality, literature, comedy, and philosophy.

Martin Flynn is a psychotherapist, poet, storyteller, and cultural philosopher based in Bray, County Wicklow Ireland. Through The Spirit’s Janitor, his creative and therapeutic practice, he explores how myth, psychology, and the soul’s imagination might help us re-enchant a disenchanted world.

His work draws deeply from James Hillman’s archetypal psychology, Hunter S. Thompson’s Gonzo spirit, and the Celtic sense of poetry woven through daily life. He sees therapy not merely as treatment, but as cultural tending, a way to listen for the stories that live beneath our struggles and restore depth, humour, and beauty to the human condition.

A graduate of the MA in Applied Spirituality at The Spirituality Institute for Research and Education (SpIRE), Martin’s work bridges psychotherapy, philosophy, and art. He writes, teaches, and speaks about the spiritual hunger at the heart of modern life, inviting people to meet their own experience as myth and not a problem.

“The Spirit’s Janitor,” he says, “isn’t a brand. It’s a way of sweeping the dust from meaning’s floor.”
