Martina Bador

My focus as a therapist is to make sure that the approach I’m using is tailored to your needs, rather than one size fits all, so the work we do together works for you.

My way of working is confidential, ethical, non-judgemental, friendly and warm.

I work with older clients, clients from the LGBTQ+ community and neurodiverse clients as well as clients from outside the UK. I work with individuals as well as couples, and I’m kink positive. Sex therapy is my speciality, and I get great satisfaction when clients tell me that our work together has created change for the better in their sexual relationships. If you are experiencing sexual issues of any kind or have concerns around sex and intimacy, I can help.

I’ve been a therapist for over 15 years, and have worked for the NHS, in schools and Universities, and in private practice. Originally from a Person-Centred background, my training as a Couples’ Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapy training has allowed me to develop an eclectic way of working, incorporating psychodynamic, systemic and CBT schools of thought.

I can offer solution-based therapy (usually shorter term) or help you explore broader issues.

Our first session is about finding out if I'm the right therapist for you. It's an informal chat, where you have space to talk about what's going on, and if that's a bit daunting, I can ask you some questions to get things started. This session, like all future sessions, lasts for 50 minutes. I'm very happy for you to ask me questions about how I work.

To book in, drop me an email, and we'll find a mutually agreeable time.
