About Lucy
Lucy Bello is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and the practical strains of life change. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stresses, and anger.
Her style treats clients as experts in their own lives. She uses clear conversations to identify what is causing a problem and what is already working. Sessions focus on small, practical steps and on noticing patterns that keep old problems going.
Lucy draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot thought and behaviour patterns that increase tension. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live according to their values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based ideas are used when patterns in relationships or early experience affect how someone reacts now.
She works plainly and directly when people come with burnout, compassion fatigue, career stresses or challenges linked to neurodiversity and chronic illness. Practical problem-solving and planning are common parts of sessions, alongside exploring how past experiences shape present reactions.
Lucy offers support around identity and LGBT concerns, codependency or family of origin issues, and life events such as separation, bereavement or caring responsibilities. She asks clients what matters to them and helps them try manageable changes between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to take steps that match their values even when emotions are strong. It is often used for anxiety, anger and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small experiments to change them; it is practical for stress, low mood and workplace problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships that repeat in adult connections and helps people try different ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods collaboratively so the plan fits what the client wants to achieve. That means sessions can include talking, practical exercises and small experiments to try between appointments.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they allow continued contact when life gets busy. Some formats can also be shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when a brief update is needed or when video is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to keep therapy usable alongside everyday life.
