About me

Hi, I'm Martina.

I'm a sex therapist (psychosexual therapist), primarily, although I also offer 1:1 and couple counselling.

If you are worrying about something, then I may be able to help. I know from experience that sexual problems are common and that the success rate of psychosexual therapy is high.

Psychosexual Therapy (or sex therapy) can help with:

· Lack of or low desire.

· Inability to orgasm.

· Pain during sex/inability to have penetrative sex (vaginismus).

· Erectile issues.

· Problems with ejaculation (premature or delayed ejaculation).

This isn’t an exhaustive list; if there’s something troubling you that’s not mentioned, just ask.

The sessions are confidential, free of judgement and non shaming. It’s about what works for you. My approach is warm, friendly and open.

I work with heterosexual and LGBTQ+ clients, both individuals and couples, and I’m a registered member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Usually, I will get back to you within 48 hours. Please check in your Junk mail folder

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
