About Marta
Marta Lopez Pizarro offers a warm, relational approach to counselling built around how people relate to themselves and others. She uses practical, person-focused ways of working to help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Marta aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone feeling overwhelmed or uncertain.
Marta draws on ideas from attachment work and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns formed early in life.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how those patterns show up in relationships and daily choices. This helps people understand why certain situations cause strong reactions and how to respond differently. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them.
Somatic methods are offered too, which bring attention to bodily experiences when emotions feel lodged in the body. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps forward. Marta has four years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, written as BACP.
She works in English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom. Online sessions and phone support are part of how she meets people where they are. Marta invites people to explore concerns such as relationship problems, body image, chronic illness and life purpose in a compassionate setting.
She helps clients talk through difficult memories, manage current stress, and build clearer ways of moving forward.

Online support
Marta treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on understanding early patterns, learning acceptance skills, or working with bodily sensations and reactions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video lets you work face to face from home, phone calls can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps express thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health needs while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
