Lucy Bello, BACP

Lucy Bello uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She frames sessions around what matters to each person and focuses on small, realistic steps. Lucy presents herself as a supportive counsellor who values the client’s perspective and strengths.

With five years of professional experience, Lucy has helped people with grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem, and challenges linked to life change. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional areas she lists include attachment difficulties, chronic illness, cancer-related stress, communication problems and separation or divorce.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy. In practice this means sessions often combine values-focused work, attention to early relationship patterns, practical strategies and open, person-centred listening.

Lucy explains things in plain language and aims to make therapy feel manageable. She helps people set small goals, try different ways of coping, and notice what matters most to them. Progress is treated as a step-by-step process rather than a quick fix.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Lucy's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by shifting attention from worry to what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and the effects of early loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the person’s aims and preferences. Sessions can mix talking, practical exercises and goal-setting so the client and therapist can adapt the way they work together over time.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a schedule. Many people find that regular sessions delivered online help them put new coping strategies into everyday life without needing large time blocks.
