About Belly
Belly Harding is a counsellor who blends talking therapies to help people untangle difficult patterns in their lives. She uses an integrative approach that brings together existential ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking.

In sessions she keeps a straightforward, non-judgemental tone. She helps people reflect on where their difficulties come from and then works with them on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours. She also pays attention to deeper, earlier patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others.
Belly has seven years of clinical experience and has worked with issues such as domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship breakdown. She offers Christian counselling for those who want it and is able to hold sessions in French as well as English.
People come to her for help with stress, codependency, grief, self-esteem, addictions and a wide range of other concerns. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions to suit their schedule.
How Belly blends approaches for online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection issues, abandonment fears and how those patterns affect adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new ways of coping. It is helpful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most relevant and will adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to keep appointments around work or family commitments. They also let conversations continue when life circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor length and focus of sessions so they fit practical needs while addressing emotional aims.
