Belinda Gammon, BACP

Belinda Gammon works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about starting.

Belinda has 11 years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She adapts her conversations and the shape of therapy to what each person needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as exploring feelings and memories that can be hard to face.

Her practice includes helping with issues related to abandonment and attachment, difficulties with communication, dissociation, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, isolation and post-traumatic stress.

Belinda aims to help people build stronger self-love, confidence and motivation while they work through grief and loss. She uses approaches that draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explains choices in plain language so people understand what to expect.

She tries to make the sessions collaborative and practical. Plans are agreed together and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback. Belinda encourages anyone who is ready to take a step towards feeling better to complete the initial match process and book a time to talk.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear tools and conversation. One approach emphasises grounding and stabilisation exercises to manage anxiety and dissociation; it teaches simple actions and breathing or body-based checks to help reduce overwhelming sensations. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories and their effects, using careful pacing and support to help lessen distress and reactivity. These methods are suited to trauma, post-traumatic stress and the impacts of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and agree a plan collaboratively. If a technique doesn’t feel helpful, it can be adjusted or changed as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the formats available before booking as they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that is preferable, so therapy fits into everyday life more easily.
