About me

Hi I'm Belinda and I have over 16 years' experience including with an NHS IAPT service and in private practice working with a wide variety of issues. Life doesn't always go to plan and events whether recent or in the past can have a huge impact, . For example, they can leave you feeling confused, anxious, depressed and struggling to see a way forward. I will provide you with a safe space where you can explore your issues and feelings without any fear of being judged. My approach is warm and empathic and I always work to build trust in the counselling relationship to enable you to feel able to be open and honest about yourself. I will encourage and support you to talk about challenging or painful issues but know this has to be at the right time and pace for you so would never put pressure on you to do so. I recognise that your experiences and any resulting feelings are unique to you and tailor the counselling accordingly using an integrative approach which means I draw on different theoretical approaches and use what I feel would be most suited to you. It's not about me giving you advice or telling you what to do but I may suggest coping strategies that I feel might be helpful. At the same time it is very much about finding the right way forward for you and I welcome feedback about what is or isn't working for you.
