About Belly

Belly Harding transitioned from a career in media and communication to pursue her passion for psychology and supporting others. She is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University and holds an MSc in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University. In addition, she has a certificate in Humanistic Therapies and Existential Counselling from the Existential Academy-NSPC and a life coach certificate from the Coaching Training Institute. She also holds BACP, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Belly uses an integrative framework that draws on Existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to help clients explore meaning, change unhelpful patterns, and understand emotional roots. Her work is focused on helping people reach their potential, feel more fulfilled, and make sense of their world while managing suffering and life transitions. She brings an open, non-judgmental and empathic stance to sessions, emphasising growth, self-discovery and authenticity.

Her clinical experience spans a diverse range of concerns, including domestic violence, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and divorce, and she also provides Christian counselling. As a French citizen, she offers therapy in both English and French and accepts international clients, combining clinical training with lived cultural understanding to support a wide range of needs.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy and recurring relationship difficulties to understand and change how they connect with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes because it offers structured techniques for managing symptoms and building new habits.

Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, supporting people who are wrestling with life transitions, identity, loss or a sense of emptiness. It encourages clients to clarify values and live more authentically.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Belly works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to assess needs, goals and preferences, and to adapt methods so the chosen approach fits each person. That collaboration helps shape a personalised plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and flexibility. Sessions by video call and phone allow face-to-face interaction while live chat and text-based messaging provide more immediate options for support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and to access therapists who work with diverse populations and international clients.
