About Belly
Belly Harding combines an integrative therapeutic approach with a focus on helping people find meaning and greater wellbeing. She aims to help clients manage difficult feelings, make sense of their lives, and move toward more authentic, fulfilling ways of living. Belly uses clear, practical conversation and reflective listening to support that work.
Belly trained in psychology and counselling and is a BACP member. She is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University and holds an MSc in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University. She also completed a certificate in Humanistic Therapies and Existential Counselling and a life coach certificate.
In session she blends Existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas. That means she will both look at how thoughts and habits affect day-to-day life, and attend to wider personal meaning and past patterns. Together this helps with emotions, relationships and making clearer choices.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression and divorce. She also offers Christian counselling and can provide sessions in French as well as English. Belly has seven years of clinical experience.
Belly welcomes people who want practical support and deeper exploration. The focus can be coping with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, grief, career questions, bodily or health-related challenges, or identity and self-esteem matters. Prospective clients should choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How Belly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Belly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential Therapy to guide online work. CBT involves noticing and gently testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and learning practical tools to ease anxiety or low mood. Existential therapy looks at meaning, values and life choices, helping people clarify what matters when they feel stuck or uncertain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Belly will discuss your goals and preferences, and together decide which methods suit you best. That means sessions can shift over time from practical skill-building to deeper personal reflection, depending on what helps most.
Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering options when being on camera is difficult. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists on this site, work this way to help people access support from different locations and circumstances.
