Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, addiction or the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, depression and related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and codependency. Lisa’s tone is direct and practical, aimed at helping people regain everyday freedom and engagement with life.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred ways to keep sessions focused on what matters to the client, and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to build coping skills. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are included when helpful.

She trained in an integrative Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling in 2022 and lists clinical placements that included work with a substance misuse agency and a charity offering long-term GP-referred therapy. That experience informs her work with addiction and complex emotional issues.

Lisa has over 11 years of practical experience, including mentoring and therapeutic work with young adults through the YMCA, and trauma-related work for a rape crisis service. She is a member of the BACP, which she names as her professional registration.

Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and finding practical ways to change that pattern. People can expect clear explanations, some education about how anxiety and addiction work, and hands-on strategies to start making small changes that add up over time.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships. This can uncover where avoidance or clinginess comes from and guide new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients lead what they want to talk about and set the pace. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and improving communication, which many people find useful for anxiety, self-harm urges or trouble regulating feelings.

Finding the best approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on which methods to emphasise. Plans can be revisited as therapy progresses to make sure the work stays relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, saving travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face feeling, while others prefer phone for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so it is important to confirm available options before booking so sessions can be organised to suit everyday life.
