Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, addiction or the effects of past trauma and abuse. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem and depression. Lisa’s tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps to feel better.

Her approach is collaborative. Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and how they shape current feelings. She brings client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense emotions.

Lisa trained with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, awarded in 2022. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her training included clinical placements in a substance misuse service and a charity offering long-term therapy for GP-referred clients.

She has over a decade of practical experience, including work with young adults through mentoring and therapeutic roles at the YMCA. Lisa has also provided trauma-informed work at a rape crisis service, which informs how she approaches sensitive material.

Sessions mix practical tools and exploration. You can expect clear explanations, short exercises to try between sessions, and a plan that changes as progress is made. Lisa also offers supervision to other therapists alongside her client work.

How Lisa’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns in close connections, helping people understand why they react as they do. Client-centred counselling focuses on non-judgemental listening and helping people name what matters, so they can find their own solutions and make steady changes. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful impulsive behaviours, often useful for anxiety, self-destructive habits and addiction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try first. That collaborative planning can be reviewed regularly so the therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are similar to in-person sessions and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you do not want to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, midweek coaching or people who prefer to write when they reflect. These options make it easier to keep sessions consistent while using the approaches described above.
