About Lucy

Lucy Bello works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem. She uses a person-focused way of working and believes people are the experts on their own lives. Lucy is a member of the BACP and has five years of professional experience.

She offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions involve looking at what is happening now, and what practical steps might help. She listens to the story someone brings and helps them identify strengths and small changes they can try between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including coping with life changes, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions and career concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and a variety of family and relationship difficulties. Additional areas listed include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and blended family matters.

Lucy draws on several approaches to guide the sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to work on thinking patterns and practical strategies for anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred and Attachment-Based approaches shape how she listens and responds to relationship concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It is often used for stress, anxiety and life changes where values and small behavioural changes are important.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises and coping strategies that can be practised between sessions and are helpful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred practice influence how sessions are run, with attention to relationship patterns and a respectful, person-led way of listening and responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use in sessions. That means approaches can be adjusted as understanding grows.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can work with clients across the UK using approaches that suit the person's life and goals.
