Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, low mood, stress and addiction. She focuses on practical steps to reduce avoidance and rebuild everyday life. Lisa welcomes carers and people who feel stuck by worry or past hurt and offers a first meeting to see if working together would help.

Lisa uses clear explanations and simple techniques in sessions. She blends client-centred listening with tools from attachment work, mindfulness and emotion-focused methods. She explains what is happening, offers psychoeducation, and uses motivational interviewing alongside body-based approaches when helpful.

Her clinical background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, completed in 2022, and several years of placements in substance misuse services and long-term therapy charity work. She has also worked with young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA.

Lisa is trauma informed from training and work with a rape crisis service. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP, and carries professional insurance. These links shape how she thinks about safety, boundaries and ethics in practice.

Sessions are described plainly and aimed at realistic change. Lisa prioritises building a steady therapeutic relationship, helping people name patterns, try small changes and notice what improves. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of trust, fear of abandonment and how those patterns affect adult life. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for the client to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports, helping people feel heard and clearer about their choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful coping, useful for anxiety, self-harm urges or addictive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness practices and emotion regulation exercises from their own daily setting, so learning transfers into real life. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to your situation, and Lisa will discuss what suits you during the initial meeting.
