About Belly

Belly Harding is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people make sense of difficult times. She combines work from existential, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic perspectives to support change and growth. She is a BACP member and is based in the United Kingdom, and she can offer sessions in English and French.

Belly aims to help people feel more fulfilled and manage suffering in daily life. She keeps sessions open and non-judgemental, and focuses on what matters to each person. Conversations centre on understanding patterns, building new ways of coping, and discovering what gives life meaning.

Her background spans media and communication and advanced study in psychology. She holds a MSc in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University and is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University. She also completed a certificate in Humanistic Therapies and Existential Counselling and a life coach certificate.

Clinically, she has worked with people who have experienced domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression and divorce. She also offers Christian counselling and has experience supporting people with long-term health and caregiving stresses, chronic pain and illness, and life transitions.

Belly describes her role as helping people to grow, to discover authenticity, and to develop practical tools for everyday life. She works collaboratively to set goals and to adapt methods so they fit each person's situation and values.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practise new ways of relating and connecting with others.

Cognitive behavioural work focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the therapist helps spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviours and build simple coping skills for anxiety, mood and stress.

Existential ideas invite people to look at meaning, choice and values. This can help when facing life transitions, chronic illness or major loss by clarifying what matters and where to focus energy.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together shape a plan that feels practical and relevant to the client’s situation.

Session formats were not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to access a therapist who speaks English or French without relocating, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
