About Lisa

Lisa Martucci is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and addictions. She also helps with trauma and self-esteem concerns.

Lisa explains anxiety as something that can grow until it limits day-to-day life. She describes how avoidance can leave someone feeling cut off and stuck. In sessions she focuses on identifying what keeps the anxiety going and on practical steps to reduce it.

Her practice combines talking therapies with educational material and motivational interviewing. She also draws on body-focused work to help people connect feelings and physical reactions. This mix is used to shorten the time someone spends feeling overwhelmed by anxiety.

Lisa trained with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling in 2022. Her placements included work with a substance misuse agency and a charity providing long-term therapy for GP-referred clients. That experience informs her approach to addictions and related concerns.

She has worked with young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA. She has also completed training and held roles in a rape crisis service, which contribute to her trauma-aware practice. She is insured and registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

How her approaches shape online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and see how they shape reactions in relationships and daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they influence present behaviour. It can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or repeated relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client lead the pace and topics of sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate to find what fits best for the client’s needs. Please confirm the precise session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you need a quieter appointment or a shorter session to fit a lunch break, mention that when you schedule so options can be discussed.
