Lucy Bello, BACP

Lucy Bello is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people move forward. She works with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and motivation. Lucy has five years of practice in the UK and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her credential.

Her approach starts by treating each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on small steps that can make a difference. She aims to support and empower people as they try new ways of coping and making changes.

Lucy draws on a mix of therapies to suit different problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and practical coping skills. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect how people connect now. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to accept difficult feelings while moving toward their values.

Clients dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, or life changes can find space to talk through practical concerns and emotional impact. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, and career or role transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and take into account each person’s goals. People who want to start are guided through a short sign-up and matching process to arrange the first session.

How Lucy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that reflect what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies for issues like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people develop healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match those aims and adjust as the work progresses, so the process stays collaborative.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so readers should confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving or treatment schedules, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when days are busy. Online work can also make it easier to keep continuity of support during life changes, with practical tasks and exercises adapted for remote sessions.
