About Marta
Marta Lopez Pizarro is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines relational and developmental ideas with practical talking therapy. She uses several approaches to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with self-esteem and relationships.
Marta speaks English and Spanish and works with adults using online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat and messaging. Marta draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
How Marta works
She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at early patterns that shape how people approach relationships. Client-Centred work is part of her practice, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace of therapy. Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
That registration means she follows recognised professional standards in the UK. In sessions Marta often focuses on what people want their life to feel like and the small steps that can make that happen. She addresses wide-ranging concerns such as coping with life changes, communication problems, family of origin issues, isolation and multicultural concerns.
She can also support people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, pain and related emotional impacts. Marta works with issues like guilt, shame, body image, attachment difficulties and feelings of emptiness. Her style blends exploration of past patterns with attention to present feelings in the therapy room.
People can expect a compassionate, steady approach aimed at practical change and clearer self-understanding.

How Marta’s approaches work online
Marta uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take steps that match their values. ACT is practical and useful for anxiety, stress and making real changes in daily life.Attachment-Based work in her practice looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. Exploring these patterns can help people change the way they relate and communicate with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marta will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that suit them. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold a lengthier session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
