Lucy Bello, BACP

Lucy Bello is a United Kingdom-based therapist with five years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation challenges and life transitions, and she supports clients across a wide range of concerns including family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, career-related stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related matters.

Lucy approaches therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing resources can be used to move through difficulties. She encourages clients to take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers practical and compassionate support to empower those changes. Her clinical work draws on evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on building resilience, improving relationships, and finding meaningful ways to cope with complex emotions and life changes.

Clients can expect an empathetic and respectful therapeutic relationship in which goals and methods are co-created. Lucy aims to create a space where people can explore challenges, develop new coping strategies and grow toward the outcomes they value.

Approach-focused care and flexible online support

Lucy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify the values that guide meaningful change - this approach is useful for stress, anxiety and life transition work. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns commonly linked to anxiety, low mood and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lucy works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and circumstances. Registered professionals and therapists often blend elements from different models to create a personalised plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Lucy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to access support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and a consistent therapeutic relationship.
