Marta Lopez Pizarro
Relational integrative counsellor for life changes
About Marta
Marta Lopez Pizarro is a counsellor who uses a relational, integrative approach to help people navigate life’s hard moments. She draws on several therapeutic ways of working to meet practical concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. Marta speaks English and Spanish and practices in the United Kingdom, bringing four years of experience to her work.
Marta focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. She pays attention to attachment issues and how those early habits affect communication, trust and closeness.
Background and approach
Sessions look at present difficulties alongside past experiences so clients can notice repeating cycles and try different ways of relating. Her sessions are grounded in a person-centred stance where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to make sense of persistent feelings and somatic awareness to notice how emotions live in the body.
This combination helps with body image concerns, chronic illness and reactions to stressful life changes. Marta supports people dealing with divorce and separation, migration and multicultural concerns, family-of-origin issues, guilt and shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose. She also works with the effects of cancer, chronic pain, illness and disability and with communication problems that strain relationships.
Her practice offers several online formats including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary depending on location and therapist availability.

How Marta's approach works online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and to choose actions that fit their values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by shifting focus toward meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. Online work here helps people see repeating ways of relating and try out new responses. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding from the counsellor so the client leads the pace and topics; it supports people who need a calm, non-judgemental space to make sense of their experience.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marta will discuss different ways of working and collaborate with each person to find what fits best. Goals, personal history and day-to-day needs shape whether sessions focus more on values-based action, attachment patterns or simply being heard in a person-centred way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and medical commitments.
