About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Martucci is a BACP member with 11 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If anxiety or low mood have begun to feel overwhelming, she invites an initial consultation to see if her way of working fits your needs.
Lisa uses clear, practical explanations in sessions. She talks through what is keeping problems going and introduces simple skills you can practise between meetings. Her background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, clinical placements with a substance misuse agency, and work with a rape crisis service. She also worked with young adults through the YMCA as a mentor and therapist.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work, with elements from dialectical behaviour therapy, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. She may include psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and body-focused techniques where helpful. The aim is to make sense of current difficulties and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
Sessions include discussion of what causes avoidance, low mood or addictive behaviours, and practical steps to reduce their impact. Lisa also offers supervision to other therapists. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She does not accept clients outside the United Kingdom.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Lisa often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment are making relationships and daily life difficult.She also works in a client-centred way, which means the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person make sense of their experience. That approach supports people who need time to explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. They can also allow people to continue work when attending in person would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match the format to the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than offering a single way of working.
