Belly Harding , BACP

Belly Harding trained first in media and communication before redirecting her career toward psychology and therapeutic work. She is a doctorate candidate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy at Middlesex University and holds an MSc in Psychology from Manchester Metropolitan University - the MSc is a master level degree in psychology. She also holds a certificate in Humanistic Therapies and Existential Counselling from the Existential Academy-NSPC and a life coach certificate from the Coaching Training Institute, and she is affiliated with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Belly works from an integrative framework that blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential approaches, and psychodynamic ideas. Her practice centers on helping people understand their patterns, manage distress, and pursue more fulfilling, authentic lives. Clients come for support with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting and family matters, and coping with life changes.

She brings clinical experience supporting diverse populations and has worked with people affected by domestic violence, trauma, relationship breakdown, and related challenges. As a French citizen, she offers therapy in both English and French, and she has additional interests in areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment and personality-related difficulties, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.

Belly emphasizes an open, empathic, and nonjudgmental stance that encourages self-discovery and growth. She is not currently accepting clients. She accepts international clients when working, and she offers therapeutic perspectives that aim to empower people to make sense of their world and to manage suffering while pursuing personal development and well-being.
