1. About Lisa

   Lisa Martucci is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low mood and trauma. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem difficulties and feelings of emptiness. Lisa speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for someone worried about seeking help.

   Lisa uses Motivational Interviewing alongside body-focused ways of working to help people find reasons to change and to reconnect with everyday life. She offers clear explanations about what is happening, and practical steps people can try between sessions. Her style is collaborative and steady, with an emphasis on small, achievable goals.

   She trained in integrative therapy and counselling, graduating in 2022 with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling. Her training included two clinical placements, one of which involved work with a substance misuse agency and another with a charity providing long-term therapy for people referred by general practitioners.

   Before and during her clinical placements she worked with young adults as a mentor and therapist through the YMCA. She has carried out extensive training and service work for a rape crisis organisation, which informs her trauma-aware approach.

   Lisa is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom in private practice and offers supervision to other therapists alongside individual work.

2. How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

   Lisa uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment to small steps forward; this can be useful for issues like addictions, low mood or procrastination. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships affect current trust, closeness and patterns in relationships, which often helps when people struggle with abandonment or attachment concerns.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
   
   Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, limit travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy if they relocate within the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises and grounding techniques so the work remains practical and relevant when done remotely.
