BELINDA DUNCAN THERAPY

I am a BACP‑accredited Counsellor (MBACP) with a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice. I offer counselling that is relational, trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming, with a particular care for people who have been told they are “too much”, “too sensitive” or “too complicated”.


My work is grounded in reflective practice. That means I pay close attention to what happens between us in the room—your feelings, my responses, and the patterns that quietly repeat in your life. I don’t see you as a set of symptoms to fix, but as a person with a story, nervous system and context that all matter.



I have a strong interest in attachment, trauma and the impact of long‑term stress and shame on how we relate to ourselves and others. I’m attentive to how power, culture, neurodivergence, health, class and identity shape our experiences of safety and belonging. Together, we can notice what has been survived, what has been carried alone, and what might be possible when it doesn’t have to be carried in the same way.


My own lived experience informs my work, but it doesn’t take centre stage. It sits quietly in the background, helping me to be particularly sensitive to overwhelm, shame, burnout and the effort it can take to ask for help. I hold this within clear ethical boundaries, regular supervision and ongoing training, so that the focus remains on you.


Clients often describe me as warm, steady and real. I won’t rush you, and I won’t push you into places you’re not ready to go. Instead, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building enough safety between us that difficult feelings, memories or parts of you that have felt “too much” can begin to be met with more understanding and less judgement.


If you recognise yourself in any of this—feeling intense, exhausted, masked, stuck in old patterns, or unsure where you belong—there is room for all of that here.
