Lucy Bello

Lucy Bello is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She has five years of experience in practice and supports clients through grief, shifts in motivation, low self-esteem and challenges with confidence.

Lucy begins from the idea that each person knows their own story best. She focuses on helping people spot their strengths and use them when life feels hard. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at practical changes rather than jargon.

Her work draws on therapies that help people notice what matters to them and make small, steady changes. She also attends to how early attachments and relationship patterns influence current difficulties. Conversations in sessions are guided by the client’s goals and paced to whatever feels doable.

Lucy uses techniques that help people recognise unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviours that keep problems going. She often blends reflective listening with practical exercises people can try between sessions. The emphasis is on plain language, clear steps and building confidence in everyday life.

People come to her for help with anger, intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, career stress and issues linked to trauma or abuse. She also works with those navigating identity questions such as LGBT matters and with people managing long-term conditions or caring responsibilities.

Lucy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.

How therapy approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and trust; it supports people working through intimacy issues and recurring relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and lift confidence, often using short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made if something does not feel like a good fit.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular contact. Online work also makes it simple to try short check-ins or exercises between meetings and to practise new skills in everyday settings.
