About Lucy

Lucy Bello uses a person-centred approach to help people untangle the problems that weigh them down. She works in a straightforward way that focuses on clear goals and what matters to each person. Lucy is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom.

She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety and those coping with grief and loss. Relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and motivation are common themes she helps people address. Lucy also offers help around parenting strain, intimacy-related worries and workplace pressure.

Her way of working blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive tools from CBT and a focus on attachment and relational patterns. Sessions aim to identify small, practical steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Conversations are paced to suit each person and to keep progress manageable.

Lucy pays attention to background, life events and practical barriers when planning support. She helps people who are navigating major life changes, chronic health or caring responsibilities, and issues linked to family of origin or abandonment. She also works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems and commitment worries.

People who choose Lucy can expect collaborative planning and a focus on what they want to achieve. The emphasis is on using strengths already present and trying out realistic changes between meetings. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule according to availability.

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Lucy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas in her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help with closeness, trust and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucy will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so sessions fit the person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single way of working.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find video or phone conversations let them maintain consistency between appointments and put learning into practice during day-to-day routines.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
