Lucy Bello , BACP

Lucy Bello is a counsellor with five years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She uses a straightforward, warm approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, grief, and low self-esteem. Her aim is to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone who feels overwhelmed.

She works from the view that each person knows their life best and brings strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical ways to handle day-to-day pressures and confusing emotions. That might mean identifying small changes, practising new ways of thinking, or noticing what matters most to you.

Lucy draws on a mix of well-established approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based thinking to understand patterns in close relationships. She keeps the conversation grounded and relatable rather than clinical.

Her experience includes supporting people through major life changes, parenting strains, career crossroads, grief and loss, and issues linked to trauma or intimacy. She also offers support around ADHD, compassion fatigue, communication problems and care-giver stress.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. Therapies use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and location-based fees apply.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Lucy's approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps towards those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce worry and boost confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early relating styles show up now, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit ongoing support and brief reflections between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
