About Lisa

Lisa Martucci is a counsellor who supports people dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress and addiction. She also works with trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties and eating and food-related issues. Her style is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping someone feel safer getting back into life.

Lisa mixes clear information with practical techniques in sessions. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and builds understanding of how anxiety and avoidance develop. She also uses body-focused work alongside talking to help with overwhelming feelings.

Her background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, completed in 2022. That training included two clinical placements, one with a substance misuse agency and another providing longer-term therapy to people referred by GPs. These placements shaped how she works with addiction and mood problems.

Lisa has worked as a mentor and therapist with young adults for the YMCA and has extensive training and experience from a rape crisis service, which informs her trauma-aware approach. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, noted as BACP, and holds professional insurance.

In sessions, she aims to bring anxiety into focus and make the problem easier to manage. The process often begins with a brief assessment, then a mix of psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and somatic techniques tailored to the person. Many people notice real change in a relatively short time when they commit to the work.

How Lisa uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they may avoid closeness or feel overwhelmed in relationships and supports developing steadier ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers to problems such as anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what matters most and suggest which methods might help. Together they check in and adjust the plan as the work progresses so the approach fits the client's needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. If you want to know which session types are available with this therapist, please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for accessing consistent support when life gets hectic.
