Lisa Martucci , BACP

Lisa Martucci is a UK-based therapist working in private practice who sees individual clients and offers supervision to other therapists. She focuses her work on people experiencing anxiety and low mood, bringing a calm, practical approach to problems that have become overwhelming.

Lisa recognises how anxiety can begin as something small and manageable but widen over time until it starts to limit everyday life. When avoidance of places, people or activities becomes a pattern, clients can feel isolated and as though they are on the outside of life looking in. She understands how that sense of restriction and hopelessness can build, and she aims to help clients re-engage with the things that matter to them.

Her work combines psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and body-centered techniques to help clients bring anxiety into focus, understand its patterns and take steps toward recovery. Many people who have struggled for years find that steady, focused work can help them regain agency and enjoyment in relatively short periods of time.

Lisa holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling and completed clinical placements with a substance misuse agency and a charity providing long-term therapy for GP-referred clients. She has also worked with young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA and has undertaken extensive trauma-informed training and practice with a rape crisis service. She is fully insured and a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - and works in line with that organisation's ethical framework.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lisa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people explore early relationship patterns and how those dynamics influence current feelings, relationships and coping - this approach is useful for people who struggle with connection, abandonment or attachment issues. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the client's experience and fosters a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. For clients needing practical skills to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are introduced to teach coping strategies and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist review progress and adapt the plan as required to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and attend sessions from familiar surroundings while still accessing the guidance and support of a licensed professional.
