About Lucy

Lucy Bello is a counsellor who uses practical, people-focused approaches to help when life feels overwhelming. She draws on five years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns. Lucy holds BACP accreditation which guides her professional practice in the United Kingdom.

She believes the person sitting in front of her knows their story best. Sessions focus on simple, clear steps that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Conversations often look at values, small behaviour changes and how past attachments affect current relationships. Lucy aims to make therapy feel straightforward and relevant to everyday pressures. Her work includes support for parenting challenges, career crossroads and compassion fatigue.

She also helps people managing chronic illness, bereavement, codependency and issues linked to ADHD and autism. Trauma and abuse are part of the areas she addresses, with attention to emotional safety and pacing. Lucy adapts ideas from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches, attachment-based work and client-centred listening.

She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose new ways of responding. Sessions combine reflection, practical exercises and goal-focused discussion. Therapy is offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to therapist availability.

How Lucy's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-led steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about relationships or work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with challenging situations. Attachment-based work focuses on how earlier relationships shape current connections and can help with intimacy, trust and repeating old patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps the process collaborative and flexible.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit around life. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, note-taking between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and access support from home, work or while travelling.
