About Marta
Marta Lopez Pizarro is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relational approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She draws on humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to keep sessions focused on the present while recognising past patterns. Marta communicates in English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom.
Marta aims to create a space where people can talk plainly about what feels hard. She listens for repeated relationship patterns and early attachment experiences that influence current feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations are handled with curiosity and calm, not judgement. Her work often addresses low mood, self-esteem worries and difficulties with relationships or communication. Marta also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, immigration-related stress and the emotional impact of separation or family conflict.
She pays attention to how the body holds tension and distress during sessions. In practice Marta blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas with psychodynamic and attachment-based thinking. She encourages practical steps that align with a person's values alongside exploration of deeper life themes.
Sessions can include noticing bodily sensations and how they relate to feelings. People who come to Marta usually want a reflective, steady conversation and practical tools they can use between meetings. With four years of experience and BACP membership, she offers approachable support for those navigating change, loss, or ongoing anxiety.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps identify personal values and small actions that move life in the chosen direction, which can be useful for anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and current relationship patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Marta treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide whether ACT, attachment work, or a client-centred conversation best fits their goals. Sessions adapt over time as needs and preferences become clearer, so the plan can change together.
Online therapy with Marta uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video meetings allow visual contact and longer conversations. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins and between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, healthcare appointments and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity with a registered professional.
