Belly Harding , BACP

Belly Harding uses an integrative approach that combines attachment-informed ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. She aims to help people make sense of their world, reduce suffering and move towards greater fulfilment. Belly speaks English and French and brings seven years of experience to her work. Belly trained in psychology and counselling. She holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University and a certificate in Humanistic Therapies and Existential Counselling from the Existential Academy - NSPC. She is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University and holds a BACP credential. Sessions focus on practical change alongside deeper reflection. Belly uses cognitive behavioural methods to look at thinking and behaviour patterns. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore past patterns that shape current feelings and relationships. She pays attention to attachment and relational patterns to help people understand how they relate to others. Existential work is used to address questions about meaning, identity and purpose. Together these approaches aim to support emotional healing and clearer decision making. Belly has worked with a range of issues across clinical practice, including trauma and domestic violence, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression. She also offers Christian counselling and supports people facing grief, career challenges, addiction concerns and long-term health issues. People can expect an open, non-judgemental and empathic space for talking. The focus is on helping each person find practical steps forward while also attending to deeper sources of distress.

How Belly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-informed work helps people understand how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions, which can be useful when addressing relationship strain and intimacy concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns and themes in relationships and emotions, which can bring insight into long-standing issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and then shape the approach together. This collaborative process helps match techniques and pace to what each person needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Some people prefer not being on camera for every session, which can reduce the emotional intensity and make it easier to focus. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know what is available. Registered or accredited professionals can still provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care through remote sessions, helping people make steady progress while accommodating practical life demands.
