About Martina Bador
I find relationships between people, connections and intimacy compelling, and offer individuals and couples both practical and psychotherapeutic strategies to improve their well-being.
I am an Individual, Couples and Psychosexual Therapist with over 15 years of experience working in the NHS and universities, and a member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Relate-trained, with a focus on the Person-Centred approach, I offer and work with an integrative approach, incorporating elements of CBT, Solution-focused and Systemic Therapy depending on the needs of my clients.
I can help with a range of issues, including:
I have extensive experience working with relationships, communication problems, issues around physical and sexual health, anxiety and depression. My career 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 and respectful way. This type of therapy can encompass issues around the psychosexual implications of menopause, desire, addiction, erectile problems, pain and difficulties with orgasm.
With a warm, gentle and direct approach, my clients include couples and individuals, including members of the LGBTQI+ community. Inclusivity is at the heart of my approach; gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) are key considerations in my work. I also have experience of working with individuals and couples with neurodiversity. 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.
My therapy sessions are confidential, judgment-free and non-shaming. It’s about what works for you. I provide a supportive, safe and confidential space with a warm and approachable style.
