Shabnam Sadigova

Psychologist & Sex Therapist

Based in Madrid and working internationally online, she brings nearly two decades of clinical experience in mental and sexual health to her work with individuals and couples.

Her practice is grounded in psychodynamic thinking - the unconscious, early relational experience, and how these shape our inner world, our relationships, and our bodies. Her clinical formation spans Azerbaijan, Turkey, Hungary, Norway, USA and Spain.

She was the first psychologist in Azerbaijan to build a structured online psychotherapy system, and the first to integrate psychological care into a reproductive health setting for couples undergoing infertility treatment. She has also worked with trafficking survivors in Vietnam through the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation.

She founded Sexophone Talks, a live international event series on sexuality, culture, and intimacy, hosted in Vietnam, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. She led the first comprehensive sex education pilot in an Azerbaijani school, funded by the Ministry of Science and Education.

She is the only clinician in Azerbaijan to hold internationally accredited certifications in sex therapy. She sees patients in Azerbaijani, Turkish, English, and Russian. She is a member of ESSM, AASECT, and PANY.
