About Lisa

Lisa Martucci works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a mix of approaches including psychoeducation, motivational interviewing and body-focused work. Lisa is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and has 11 years of experience.

Lisa sees individual clients in private practice and also provides supervision to other therapists. She trained to a postgraduate level, completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling in 2022. During training she carried out two clinical placements, including work with a substance misuse agency and a charity offering long-term therapy to GP-referred clients.

Earlier work with the YMCA gave experience supporting young adults as a mentor and therapist. Lisa has undertaken extensive training and casework for a rape crisis service, which informs her trauma-aware practice. She also describes herself as trauma informed through that work.

In sessions she aims to be direct and practical. She uses psychoeducation to help people understand how anxiety or addictive patterns develop. Motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to build commitment to new steps.

Lisa includes body-focused techniques alongside talking work when appropriate. This can help when anxiety is experienced through physical symptoms or when traumatic memories are stored in the body. Her background means she draws on different methods to suit the presenting problem and the person in front of her.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current feelings and reactions; it can help with attachment issues and repeated relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and uses careful listening and reflection to support self-understanding and decision-making. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotion and improving emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit the person's needs. This means the plan can change as work progresses and different techniques are introduced.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online working can make it simpler to fit counselling around daily life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or with less bandwidth if that is useful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the approach so therapy remains practical and focused when delivered remotely.
