Lisa Martucci, BACP

Lisa Martucci is a UK-based therapist working in private practice who also offers supervision to other therapists. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with anxiety and low mood, helping them regain engagement with life when worry and avoidance begin to take over. Lisa describes anxiety as something that can start small but expand until it restricts daily activities and relationships, and she aims to bring those patterns into focus so clients can understand what is happening and why.

Her approach blends psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and body-focused work to help clients build practical skills and renewed confidence. Many people who have dealt with long-standing anxiety and low mood find that focused work can produce meaningful change in a relatively short time frame. In practice she sees individuals for therapy and provides professional supervision to colleagues.

Lisa qualified in 2022 with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, a course that included clinical placements with a substance misuse agency and a charity providing long-term therapy to GP-referred clients. She has additional experience working with young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA and has training and experience with a rape crisis service, which contributes to her trauma-informed perspective. She is fully insured and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to help people understand how those patterns affect current emotions and connections; it can be useful for issues such as attachment difficulties and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore values, self-esteem and low mood while the therapist supports self-directed growth. DBT focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and building healthier coping strategies, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood instability and addictive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She tailors techniques to each person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds, drawing on her trauma-informed background when relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats can make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and to continue therapy during life changes or when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
