About Lucy
Lucy Bello is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and works with people feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck after loss. Lucy supports those facing relationship strains, low self-esteem, motivation problems and confidence struggles.
She sees people who are dealing with grief and life changes and those managing trauma, abuse, or intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people navigating parenting stress, career pressures and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional areas she works with include ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Lucy draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning, choice and personal values in the face of difficulty. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and commit to values-based action.
Attachment-based and client-centred approaches guide how she builds safety and follows each person at their own pace. Sessions involve practical conversation and reflection. Lucy treats each person as the expert in their life while offering tools and perspectives to try between meetings.
She aims to make tasks small and doable so change feels manageable. Clients can expect a straightforward, calm manner and an emphasis on real-life problems and goals. The overall aim is to support people as they make decisions that fit their values and circumstances.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It is useful for those facing big changes, loss or questions about direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and try different ways of working. Together they will set goals and pick techniques that match a person’s needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for face-to-face style conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the collaborative therapy process intact.
