About Belly
Belly Harding is a counsellor who works from an integrative perspective. She combines ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic thinking to help people make sense of their lives and manage distress. Belly holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University and is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Belly aims to create an open, empathic space for clients to talk about what matters most to them. She focuses on helping people feel more fulfilled and move toward their potential. Her approach is non-judgemental and practical, with attention to how past relationships shape present patterns.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addiction and sleeping difficulties. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma and domestic violence, and she also offers Christian counselling when that felt relevant to a client.
Belly draws on different methods depending on what a person needs. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, attachment-based ideas to repair relational patterns, and psychodynamic thinking to explore long-standing emotional themes. Sessions aim to balance insight with concrete steps that can be tried between meetings.
She is fluent in English and French and works from the United Kingdom. Parents and busy people often comment that her style is direct yet compassionate, with an emphasis on everyday changes that can improve rest and wellbeing.
How her approaches translate to online work
Belly commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and helps people build more trusting connections. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Belly will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit you. The plan is collaborative so the approach can be adjusted as you go.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. It can also make it easier to keep continuity when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
