Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and low mood. She commonly supports issues with self-esteem and depression, and has a particular focus on ageing and geriatric issues alongside caregiver stress and family-of-origin concerns. Lisa introduces herself with a calm, straightforward approach and invites an initial consultation to see if her style fits the client’s needs.

Lisa uses practical steps to make progress. She teaches psychoeducation about how anxiety works, uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and incorporates body-based work to help people feel more present. Sessions aim to bring problems into focus and map what has been keeping them going.

Her background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, completed in 2022, and two clinical placements that involved work with a substance misuse agency and a long-term therapy charity taking GP referrals. She also worked with young adults as a mentor and therapist at the YMCA and has extensive trauma-related training from work at a rape crisis service.

Lisa is a registered member of the BACP, which she follows for professional standards, and she maintains professional insurance. She has around 11 years of experience in therapeutic roles across several settings prior to qualifying with her diploma.

People who choose to meet her can expect a conversational, down-to-earth style. The focus is on understanding patterns, building skills for change, and helping people re-engage with life in ways that feel manageable and realistic.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online working

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. In practice this means talking through familiar relationship patterns and identifying ways to form more secure interactions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering a non-judgemental space where the client’s experience guides the work. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, provides clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal effectiveness, useful for strong mood swings and impulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as goals change.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing sessions during short breaks or quieter parts of the day. It can also mean choosing shorter check-ins when bandwidth or concentration is limited. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so the work stays practical and goal-focused.
