Lisa Martucci , BACP

Lisa Martucci is a UK-based counsellor whose practice focuses on supporting people struggling with anxiety and low mood, as well as related concerns such as stress, addiction and trauma. She frames anxiety as a phenomenon that can begin small and then expand until it governs daily life, leading to avoidance, isolation and a sense of being shut out from life. Lisa works to bring that anxiety into clear view so clients understand what is happening and why, then uses a combination of psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and body-centered techniques to help them regain engagement and enjoyment in everyday life.

Her training concluded in 2022 with a Post Grad. Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, during which she completed two clinical placements that included several years of work with a substance misuse agency and with a charity providing long-term therapy for GP referred clients. She has also supported young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA and has undertaken extensive training and practice with a rape crisis service that informs her trauma-aware approach.

In addition to individual work, Lisa offers supervision to other therapists. She is fully insured and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapist), and she follows the ethical code and practice framework set by that organisation.

Integrative therapy approaches for online care

Lisa uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage anxiety, trauma and related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence present-day feelings and patterns; it helps people understand relationship wounds and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth to address issues like low mood and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for overwhelming emotions and patterns of avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access care from home, and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively across these formats, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work in a way that suits their life.
