Belinda Gammon, BACP

Belinda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test those thoughts with simple experiments, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Another approach concentrates on stabilising daily routines and grounding exercises to manage dissociation, trauma reactions and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Belinda treats therapy as a collaboration and will check in about what feels helpful. Together the client and counsellor choose techniques and pace that match needs, goals and preferences rather than fitting the person to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, day-to-day coaching or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family demands, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
