Therapeutic Approaches Online with Belly Harding
Belly commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential and psychodynamic approaches in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to address them - it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties. Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, choice and personal responsibility, helping people navigate life transitions, identity and a sense of purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at unconscious patterns and early relationships that influence current feelings and behaviours, and can be helpful for long-standing relational and emotional issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and personally suited.
Online therapy with Belly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a trained therapist without travel barriers, and allow the work to fit alongside everyday responsibilities.
