Marta Lopez Pizarro, BACP
Somatic-informed counsellor for life transitions
About Marta
Marta Lopez Pizarro is a counsellor who blends body-focused work with talking therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She draws on somatic approaches alongside other therapies to support adults facing low mood, relationship strain, self-esteem issues and coping with illness. Marta holds BACP registration and works from the United Kingdom.
Her style is relational and practical. Sessions pay attention to both bodily signals and personal history.
Background and approach
She helps people notice how their body responds to stress and how early attachments shape current patterns. This combination aims to make emotional experience easier to understand and manage in day-to-day life. Marta uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people focus on values and small steps that fit their life.
She also draws on psychodynamic and attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Client-centred listening shapes the session so each person sets the pace. People come for many reasons, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, chronic pain or illness, and life transitions such as separation or immigration.
Marta also works with concerns around body image, guilt, loneliness and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Therapy is delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Combining body-focused and relational approaches online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement as part of emotional healing. It can help when anxiety, chronic pain or stress show up in physical ways and people want to learn how their body and mind connect.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small practical steps. It supports people who feel stuck by helping them notice thoughts without being ruled by them and take actions that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful for anyone struggling with trust, closeness or repeating relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to find what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean blending somatic noticing with ACT exercises or exploring attachment patterns in conversation.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, health or family commitments and to stay consistent when travel or mobility are factors. Sessions can focus on noticing bodily signals, practising values-based steps, or talking through relationship patterns depending on what helps most.
