Marta Lopez Pizarro, BACP

Marta Lopez Pizarro offers a relational, integrative approach to counselling. She combines different therapy ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Marta works in English and Spanish and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them and start making small changes.

Marta’s work draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred and somatic elements to focus on feelings in the body and on everyday, practical experience. Sessions are conversational and aim to notice patterns that repeat in current life.

She has four years of professional experience and often helps people cope with life changes such as separation, illness, relocation or shifts in identity. Other areas she commonly supports include body image, chronic pain or illness, immigration-related stress, and problems with communication or trust.

Marta encourages people to explore difficult emotions such as guilt, shame or emptiness without judgement. She works at a steady pace and pays attention to how feelings show up in both mind and body. The emphasis is on understanding current difficulties and finding ways to move forward.

Sessions invite practical steps alongside deeper reflection. People can expect clear, straightforward conversation about what is causing distress and what might help next. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Marta’s approaches work well online

Marta draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small, practical steps that can reduce distress and increase meaning. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence present behaviour; this helps when trust or communication feel difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marta will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods suit them best. That collaborative process means the approach can shift as needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to work with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish without needing to change location. Discuss practical arrangements with Marta when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
