Belly Harding is a counsellor who combines psychodynamic, existential and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people untangle difficult feelings. She draws on seven years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, with postgraduate study in psychology and additional certificates in humanistic and existential approaches. Belly speaks English and French and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Belly focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

She also helps with relationships, intimacy issues, grief, addictions and coping with life changes. Practical concerns like sleep, eating, career strain and parenting pressures are within her scope. Her sessions aim to make sense of painful patterns.

She helps people notice how past experiences shape their present reactions and then tries out different ways of responding. Belly uses straightforward tools from CBT alongside deeper exploration of meaning and attachment in relationships. Therapy with her is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through fears, work on self-esteem and practise new responses to old problems. She can carry conversations in French when preferred. Background and approach include training in counselling psychology and psychotherapy at postgraduate level and a life coaching qualification.

That mix supports both short-term problem solving and longer-term self-understanding. People seeking help for trauma, relationship difficulties, mood disorders or coping with illness and caregiving stress may find this combined way of working helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation. Online sessions can explore these patterns and practice new ways of relating to others and oneself. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour. CBT techniques can be taught and practised during video sessions or through short written exercises sent by message.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person's needs. That way sessions can blend practical skill-building with deeper reflection as required, and adapt over time if something is not helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging suits brief updates, written reflection or stepped care between longer appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel.
