Therapy

Counselling Psychologist

Martina is an experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS). She’s also a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist through the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

With over a decade of experience in mental health, Martina’s therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic values, prioritizing mutual respect and collaboration. She brings an intersectional and social justice perspective, understanding that suffering is not only individual but also shaped by intergenerational and communal experiences.

Martina’s primary therapeutic framework is Schema Therapy (ST), which she skillfully blends with modern third-wave cognitive-behavioral approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT). She also incorporates psychodynamic insights and attachment theory, often exploring how music and art can enrich the healing process.

Her work with the Heartbreak Hotel was inspired by the profound strength of female friendships—the kind that validates our feelings and offers gentle support until we’re ready to face life with courage once more.
