Belly trained in psychology and counselling, with a Master of Science in Psychology and further certificates in humanistic and existential approaches.

Her work aims to help people reach their potential and feel more fulfilled. She uses an open, non-judgemental style and focuses on helping clients understand their feelings, behaviour and relationships. Therapy often involves looking at patterns, making small changes and practising new ways of thinking or relating.
Clinical experience includes supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression and relationship breakdown. She also offers Christian counselling and has worked with people facing grief, addiction and caregiving stress. Adoption and foster care is listed among areas of additional focus.
Belly combines existential ideas, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor sessions to each person. This integrative stance means conversations can range from practical problem solving to exploring deeper life questions.

How Belly’s approaches can work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to notice relationship habits and try new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns and often includes simple exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and decide together which methods to use. That collaboration means sessions can be adapted over time as priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular sessions around work and family commitments. It can also make it simpler to have therapy in a preferred language, such as English or French, and to continue with a therapist when living abroad or travelling.
