About Lucy

Lucy Bello is a counsellor with five years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and dips in self-esteem. Lucy aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.

She believes each person knows their own story and that strengths already exist to help them move forward. Sessions focus on uncovering those strengths and exploring small, doable changes.

Background and approach

Lucy offers a calm and direct way of talking through problems so people feel more able to cope day to day. Her approach combines practical thinking about unhelpful patterns with attention to personal values and attachment needs. This means looking at thoughts and behaviours, how relationships affect wellbeing, and what matters most to the client.

Techniques are chosen to fit what the person wants to achieve rather than following a single recipe. Lucy has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties. She also supports people with issues such as chronic illness, caring responsibilities and complex family of origin problems.

Work typically blends talking, reflective exercises and practical tasks to try between sessions. Lucy works within the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and provides sessions in English for people in the UK.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than fighting every difficult feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues or early attachment concerns affect daily life. Client-Centred Therapy offers a straightforward, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist mirrors back what they hear to deepen understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly. This collaborative process means methods are selected to fit the person, not the other way around.

Online sessions include video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection while phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, reflective notes or people who prefer writing. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life, while still focusing on meaningful change.
