About Belly
Belly Harding is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She trained with a Master of Science in Psychology and is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University. Belly works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger, among other concerns.
She came to counselling from a background in media and communication and uses that perspective to help people make sense of their world. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on ways to manage recurring patterns and strong emotions such as frustration or resentment.
Belly uses an integrative approach that draws on Existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas. She weaves these perspectives together to look at beliefs, early relationships, and how thoughts and reactions keep patterns going. That mix is useful for emotional regulation and for understanding the triggers behind angry responses.
Her clinical experience includes work with people affected by domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression and separation. She also offers Christian counselling when that is helpful to a client. Belly supports people in English and French and works with international clients.
Practical matters are straightforward: sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas look at early relationships and patterns that shape how someone reacts now. These approaches help people understand why anger or resentment keeps returning, and how past experiences influence present responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It provides practical tools for noticing triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses to reduce reactive anger.Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals, current difficulties and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the mix of approaches as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Registered and accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to carry out the same therapeutic tasks they do in person, such as talking through triggers, practising coping skills and planning behaviour experiments to test new responses.
