About Belly
Belly Harding is a counsellor who brings seven years of clinical experience and a background in psychology to her work. She holds a BACP membership and completed a Master of Science in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University. Belly is also a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University and can offer sessions in English and French.
Belly helps people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns and practical steps that ease day-to-day distress. People come to her for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and addiction. Her approach blends several therapies so each plan fits the person sitting in front of her.
Belly often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and small actions that change mood. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that repeat today. Existential therapy is part of her work too, helping people face life’s big questions and find personal meaning.
Sessions are described in plain language and aim to be collaborative rather than prescriptive. Belly has experience supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence and relationship breakdown. She also offers Christian counselling for those who prefer that framework.
Her practice includes online formats and international clients, and she will work with you to agree a pace and plan that suit your situation.

Approaches Belly lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Belly will work collaboratively with clients to decide which methods to try first, adapting them as goals and needs become clearer. That way the plan stays practical and responsive rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when you meet. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from another location, phone sessions are useful when video is not possible, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit around a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to try different formats as life demands change.
