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.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Sometimes it’s helpful to hear how others have experienced therapy with me. Here are a few reflections from clients who’ve chosen to share their words.
These anonymised reflections may give you a sense of what it’s like to work together.
- "Working with Belinda for the past year has truly changed my life. My anxiety has eased, and I feel mentally stronger. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and approachable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly"
- "Belinda and I worked together for 18 months and it has been genuinely life-changing!. She helped me make sense of my past, feel more grounded in the present, and approach the future with far less fear. Having a consistent, supportive space each week, free of judgement, made it so much easier to open up and work through my thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She’s created such a warm and welcoming environment for therapy, which made every session feel safe and comfortable. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive space and who’s ready to explore themselves more deeply."
