Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci works in private practice, seeing individuals and offering supervision to other therapists. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with anxiety and low mood, and she invites anyone who recognises themselves in that experience to arrange an initial consultation.

Lisa understands how anxiety can begin as something manageable and then gradually take up more space in daily life - growing until avoidance of places, people, or activities becomes the default. That withdrawal often leaves people feeling isolated, hopeless, and on the outside of life. Her approach is to bring the anxiety into clearer focus so that clients can understand what is happening and why. Through a combination of psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, and bodywork she helps clients reduce avoidance, rebuild engagement, and regain a sense of agency. Many clients who have struggled for years report meaningful progress within a relatively short period of focused work.

She qualified in 2022 with a Post Grad. Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, a postgraduate training that combined different therapeutic methods into an integrative practice. As part of that training she completed two clinical placements working with a substance misuse agency and with a charity providing long-term therapy for GP referred clients. Lisa also gained experience mentoring and working therapeutically with young adults through the YMCA, and she has undertaken extensive trauma-informed training and work with a rape crisis service. She is fully insured and a registered member of the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and works in line with its ethical framework.

Attachment-informed and DBT approaches for online care

Lisa integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early connections to help people understand how those experiences affect current emotions and behaviour - it can be especially useful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and feelings of abandonment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing unhelpful coping strategies; it is often helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation, self-destructive behaviours, or overwhelming stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, drawing on different models as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximise flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family, and mobility considerations, and they allow clients to continue therapy from their own environment while working with a registered professional focused on their recovery and growth.
