Lucy Bello, BACP

Lucy Bello is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, and cope with grief and loss. She works in English and draws on a range of therapy approaches to match each person’s needs.

Lucy believes people know their own stories and strengths. Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She supports clients to notice what matters to them and to take practical steps that fit their life.

In sessions she uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-based and client-centred work shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Existential ideas are brought in when people face big life questions or transitions.

Lucy has experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief, including self-esteem, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues linked to family of origin. She also listens to people dealing with chronic illness or caring responsibilities and offers practical ways to cope.

Her BACP registration is part of her professional identity in the UK. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the platform’s continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and practising small changes to reduce distress. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, preferences and everyday needs and then try methods that fit. That might mean using ACT skills one week and a CBT-style practical exercise the next, all decided collaboratively.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions and to work on relationship or grief issues from wherever is most convenient.
