About Martina Bador
I find relationships between people, connection and intimacy compelling, and I can offer individuals and couples both practical and psychotherapeutic strategies to improve their well-being.
I am a member of the BACP and COSRT and have been working as a therapist for over 15 years in the NHS at Relate and Universities. Relate trained and focusing on a Person-Centred approach, I offer Individual, Couples and Psychosexual Therapy and work with an integrative approach, incorporating elements of CBT, solution-focused and systemic therapy depending on the individual or couple’s needs.
I have extensive experience working with relationship issues, communication problems, issues around physical and sexual health, anxiety and depression. My work life to date encompasses the NHS, Relate and Universities, as well as private practice.
With a special interest in Psychosexual Therapy for both couples and individuals, I work in a collaborative, gentle and respectful way. This type of therapy can encompass issues around the psychosexual implications of menopause in women, desire, addiction, erectile problems, pain and difficulties with orgasm.
With a warm, gentle and direct approach, my client groups include couples and individuals and the LGBTQI+ community. My approach is one of inclusivity, and gender, sex and relationship diversity are important considerations in my work. It is important to remember that there is no upper age limit for counselling and psychosexual therapy, and as such I have a particular interest in working with older couples with sexual difficulties and relationship issues.
The sessions are confidential, free of judgment and non-shaming. It’s about what works for you. I provide a supportive, safe and confidential space with a warm and approachable style.
I can help with a range of issues, including:
- Communication problems.
- Relationships.
- Anxiety.
- Depression.
- Lack of or low desire.
- Mismatch in desire.
- Inability to orgasm.
- Pain during sex/inability to have penetrative sex.
- Erectile issues.
- Problems with ejaculation (premature or delayed ejaculation).
- Mental and sexual health for perimenopausal and menopausal women.
- Affairs, infidelity and cheating.
