Lucy Bello, BACP

Lucy Bello is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She invites clients to take the first brave step towards change and offers steady support along the way.

Lucy believes people know their own stories and brings a practical, collaborative style to sessions. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to meet current challenges. Conversations are aimed at clearer decisions and small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

Her approach blends different ways of working, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and existential thinking. She draws on these methods to help with mood, motivation, relationships and meaning. This mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Lucy has supported people through caregiving strain, chronic health concerns, career anxieties and the emotional impact of life changes. She also works with issues such as ADHD-related difficulties, intimacy questions, and LGBT-related concerns. She frames these topics around everyday effects and practical coping strategies.

She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life transitions make it hard to act in ways that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for stress, worry and building new routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that affect how people connect and feel safe with others, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucy will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. You can expect a collaborative process where approaches are adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people attend sessions from quieter surroundings or around caregiving duties, making therapy more practical for everyday life.
