In sessions Belly uses an integrative mix that draws on Existential therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas.

Conversations are straightforward and guided by what each person wants to change.
Her clinical background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression and divorce. She also offers Christian counselling and supports issues such as grief, addiction, body image and caregiving stress. Money and financial issues are part of her wider list of concerns she will talk about in therapy.
Belly aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can explore growth, authenticity and coping strategies. Sessions are intended to help people build insight and try new ways of handling challenges in daily life. If you speak French she can offer therapy in that language as well.
How Belly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based ideas, Existential therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are ways Belly often draws on to help people. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and aim to shift unhelpful ways of relating. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal values to help people make sense of life changes and uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and tests small practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether more exploratory psychodynamic material, practical CBT techniques or an emphasis on relationships and meaning will be the priority.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around busy days, avoid travel and make regular check-ins easier to sustain. Online sessions can also allow for shorter or more frequent touchpoints when you need them, or sessions in another language such as French. Discuss format preferences when you begin so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
